“…By the time of La Isabela's abandonment in 1498, the primary Spanish focus had shifted to the new port towns of Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata. These and other settlements were connected by an increasingly formalized road network and a growing reliance on animal transport from 1502 onward under the new governor Nicolás de Ovando (Mira Caballos 2000:154). Several of the inland settlements that persisted into the sixteenth century (e.g., Concepción de la Vega and Santiago de los Caballeros) were associated with the chain of forts from the earliest years of the colony (Kulstad-González 2015); the Indigenous population centers in the Cibao, the intensification of gold extraction to include more specialized operations targeting lode gold (Olsen Bogaert 2015), and the new “ ruta del oro ” that connected these locations proved to be central factors in determining the new settlement geography of the interior.…”

Indigenous Routes and Resource Materialities in the Early Spanish Colonial World: Comparative Archaeological Approaches

The early colonial period witnessed new scales of connectivity and unprecedented projects of resource extraction across the Spanish Americas. Yet such transformations also drew heavily on preexisting Indigenous landscapes, technologies, and institutions. Drawing together recent discussions in archaeology and geography about mobility and resource materialities, this article takes the early colonial route as a central object of investigation and contributes to new emerging interpretive frameworks that make sense of Spanish colonialism in the Americas as a variable, large-scale, and materially constituted process. Using three case studies—the ruta de Colón on the island of Hispaniola, the routes connecting the southeastern Caribbean islands with mainland South America, and the ruta de la plata in the south-central Andes—we develop a comparative archaeological analysis that reveals divergent trajectories of persistence, appropriation, and erasure in the region's routes and regimes of extraction and mobility during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
