Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores sites established as or transformed into ecclesiastical settlements in South America beginning in the sixteenth century with Spanish colonialism and attempts at Christianization. Mission settlements are unique in that they are examples of directed cultural change, and their investigation allows scholars to study the material entanglements prompted by conversion. As interest in historical archaeology grows throughout South America, so have approaches and thematic trajectories of the archaeology of religious conversion. This chapter provides a broad survey of mission archaeology in South America, including Portuguese and Spanish religious orders; space, place, and landscape; bioarchaeology; and resistance to Christian conversion demonstrated through Indigenous religious revitalization.
