Abstract

Archaeologists and Native Americans apply different concepts to classify ancient groups of people who lived in the past. This is a topic of current interest because many archaeologists in the United States are now having to determine the cultural affiliation of the materials they study to comply with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. The Hopi and Zuni tribes in the American Southwest are used as case examples to examine how and why archaeological and tribal views of cultural affiliation are divergent. We suggest anthropological perspectives of culture need to be reintegrated into archaeological theory in collaboration with Native Americans in order to interpret the past in a manner that is both useful and interesting to the multiple audiences interested in our work.

Los arqueólogos y los indios norteamericanos aplican diferentes conceptos para clasificar los grupos humanos que vivieron en el pasado. Este es un tópico de interés actual debido a que muchos arqueólogos hoy tienen que determinar la afiliación cultural de los materiales que ellos estudian para así acatar la ley, Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA). Se utilizan los casos de las tribus Hopi y Zuni cómo ejemplos para examinar cómo y por que las perspectivas arqueológicas y tribales son divergentes. Se sugiere que las perspectivas antropológicas de cultura necesitan ser reintegradas en la teoría arqueológica en colaboración con los indios norteamericanos para interpretar el pasado de una manera útil e interesante para la variada audiencia interesada en nuestro trabajo.
