SUMMARY:Wednesday Talk: 2022 Fieldwork in Bocas del Toro\, Panama
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: For at least 2\,000 years before Spanish arrival in 1502\, the province of Bocas del Toro\, Panama\, sustained numerous vibrant cultures. However\, little archaeological research has been done in this area. For decades\, this area has been considered a ‘cultural backwater’ with only simple\, small-scale settlements. Dr. Tom Wake’s excavations at Sitio Abuelitas and Sitio Drago on Isla Colon\, the largest island in Bocas del Toro\, have altered this picture as burials\, house mounds\, and artifacts from across Central America have been found. Carly Pope’s research focuses on the ceramics from these sites\, including locally-made wares as well as foreign imports\, and the potential they hold to elucidate both interregional systems of cultural interaction and community-level organization. From July to December 2022\, examinations focused on collecting frequency data\, selecting samples\, and preparing for future research.Bio: Carly Pope was born and raised in Atlanta\, GA. She earned her BA in art and archaeology from Princeton University in 2016 and her senior thesis focused on the emergence of early pottery in different parts of Latin America. She continued her education at the University College London\, where she obtained a MA in archaeology. For her master’s thesis she analyzed pottery used in salt processing by the Maya of coastal Belize. While her research focuses on Central America\, Carly has also excavated at a Roman port in Thrace\, Greece; a Basketmaker II site in Cortez\, Colorado; a Medieval pilgrims’ cemetery in the Basque area of Spain; a Middle Kingdom amethyst mine near Aswan\, Egypt; and a Maya town site in Yucatan\, Mexico. She has presented at a variety of academic and professional conferences\, including the International Congress on the Anthropology of Salt and the Society for American Archaeology annual meeting.
