The town of Ticamaya was an indigenous village located in Honduras' Ulua valley. A town of considerable local and interregional import in the Postclassic Period, Ticamaya is distinctive in that it was continually occupied until the late Colonial Period. Using an approach grounded in phenomenological approaches to the past, and emphasizing theories of practice, this dissertation focuses on using documentary and archaeological research to gain an understanding of the nature of indigenous life at Ticamaya in the Postclassic, and the ways that life changed and stayed the same through the Colonial Period. Data derived from the excavation of six distinct households and the analysis of documents from the Archive of the Indies in Seville and the Archivo General de Centro America in Guatemala and various published sources served as the basis of my analysis. What my analysis reveals is that while Ticamaya was of limited interest to the Spanish, and was generally perceived as being part of a less desirable political and social backwater, from an indigenous perspective Ticamaya was and remained quite cosmopolitan. Although scholars have tended to assume that colonization disrupted indigenous life to the point that indigenous trade networks could not survive in Mesoamerica, documentary data, and the presence of imported obsidian and majolica in colonial contexts indicate that interregional trade likely continued into the 18th century. Aside from providing Ticamaya's residents with imported goods, these trade networks imply that Ticamaya's residents were constructing their world in terms of much broader networks of knowledge well into the colonial period. While indigenous life at Ticamaya appears to have stayed fairly traditional throughout most of the colonial period, documents indicate interesting relationships between Ticamaya and other indigenous communities in the area, and European communities and politics. Some indigenous community leaders were literate and culturally educated enough to utilize the Spanish legal system. Ticamaya's residents were part of an indigenous coastal watch system and as such actively engaged in fighting piracy and defending the Spanish empire, the effects of which are seen archaeologically in an increase in projectile point use. While material life was in many ways consistent with Postclassic life until the end of the colonial period, the choice to maintain Ticamaya as place and to continue to practice life in a manner consistent with tradition indicates that Ticamaya was important to its residents as a not just as a place but as part of their identity.
