POWELL MARTI VALLI S. & GILMAN PATRICIA A
Mimbres Society
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2006. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The enchanting pottery created by the Mimbres people of southwestern New Mexico is considered by many scholars to be unique among all the ancient art traditions of North America. Distinguished by their elaborate hand-painted black-on-white designs Mimbres vessels have inspired artists and collectors and many insist that they are unrivaled in several millennia of pottery making. While the attention to the extraordinary Mimbres painted pottery is well merited the focus on its artistry alone has obscured other equally remarkable achievements and compelling questions about this unique and sophisticated society. Was the society as truly egalitarian as it has often been suggested Was the pottery produced by specialists How did Mimbres architecture�among the first to break living spaces into apartment-style room blocks�reflect the relationships among individuals families and communities Did aggregate housing units translate into social equality or did subtle hierarchies exist Tracing the way technology evolved in ceramic decoration architecture and mortuary practices this collection of eight original contributions brings new insights into previously unexplored dimensions of Mimbres society. The contributors also provide vivid examples of how today's archaeologists are linking field data to social theory. "An excellent and much-needed contribution to Mimbres and Southwestern archaeology." �Journal of Anthropological Research University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2006 hardcover

VAUGHN KEVIN J
The Ancient Andean Village: Marcaya In Prehispanic Nasca
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2012. Softcover. Brand new book. Although ancient civilizations in the Andes are rich in history�with expansive empires skilled artisans and vast temple centers�the history of the Andean foothills on the south coast of present-day Peru is only now being unveiled. Nasca a prehispanic society that flourished there from AD 1 to 750 is best known for its polychrome pottery its enigmatic geoglyphs the "Nasca Lines" and its ceremonial center Cahuachi which was the seat of power in early Nasca. However despite the fact that archaeologists have studied Nasca civilization for more than a century until now they have not pieced together the daily lives of Nasca residents. With this book Kevin Vaughn offers the first portrait of village life in this ancient Andean society. Vaughn is interested in how societies develop and change in particular their subsistence and political economies interactions between elites and commoners and the ritual activities of everyday life. By focusing on one village Marcaya he not only illuminates the lives and relationships of its people but he also contributes to an understanding of the more general roles played by villages in the growth of increasingly complex societies in the Andes. By examining agency in local affairs he is able for the first time to explore the nature of power in Nasca and how it may have changed over time. By studying village and household activities Vaughn argues we can begin to appreciate from the ground up such essential activities as production consumption and the ideologies revealed by rituals�and thereby gain fresh insights into ancient civilizations. "There is no question that this is a major contribution to the understanding of Nasca society" �Journal of Anthropological Research "This volume is a landmark work for Nasca archaeology and essential reading for Andeanists dealing with the village approach. It also belongs on the shelves of all archaeologists interested in the larger questions of agency and economy in middle-range societies." �Journal of Latin American Studies University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2012 paperback

NELSON MARGARET C
Mimbres During The Twelfth Century: Abandonment Continuity And Reorganization
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 1999. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. During the mid twelfth century villages that had been occupied by the Mimbres people in what is now southwestern New Mexico were depopulated and new settlements were formed. While most scholars view abandonment in terms of failed settlements Margaret Nelson shows that for the Mimbres abandonment of individual communities did not necessarily imply abandonment of regions. By examining the economic and social reasons for change among the Mimbres Nelson reconstructs a process of shifting residence as people spent more time in field camps and gradually transformed them into small hamlets while continuing to farm their old fields. Challenging current interpretations of abandonment of the Mimbres area through archaeological excavation and survey she suggests that agricultural practices evolved toward the farming of multiple fields among which families moved with small social groups traveling frequently between small pueblos rather than being aggregated in large villages. Mimbres during the Twelfth Century is the first book-length contribution on this topic for the Classic Mimbres period and also addresses current debates on the role of Casas Grandes in these changes. By rethinking abandonment Nelson shows how movement by prehistoric cultivators maintained continuity of occupation within a region and invites us to reconsider the dynamic relationship between people and their land. "Why did they all leave Why did their system crash Where did they go Such questions about ancient farming peoples of the American Southwest have long directed the research and affected the thinking of many archaeologists while concomitantly feeding public interest in the 'romance' or archaeology. In this fine book Margaret Nelson . . . questions those questions and by implication shows how they can misdirect and distort our view of the past and skew conclusions drawn about it." �Journal of Anthropological Research "Nelson's work has clearly demonstrated that we need to rethink our assumptions about regional abandonment." �Antiquity "A fresh perspective grounded in an exhaustive cross-cultural review . . . richly grounded in architectural settlement pattern and subsistence data." �New Mexico Historical Review "For anyone who has stood beside the dusty ruins of the first people's villages wondering where they went and why Mimbres during the Twelfth Century is an intriguing read." �Southern New Mexico Historical Review University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 1999 hardcover

KOHLER TIMOTHY A.; VARIEN MARK D. & WRIGHT AARON M. EDITORS
Leaving Mesa Verde: Peril And Change In The Thirteenth-century Southwest
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. It is one of the great mysteries in the archaeology of the Americas: the depopulation of the northern Southwest in the late thirteenth-century AD. Considering the numbers of people affected the distances moved the permanence of the departures the severity of the surrounding conditions and the human suffering and culture change that accompanied them the abrupt conclusion to the farming way of life in this region is one of the greatest disruptions in recorded history. Much new paleoenvironmental data and a great deal of archaeological survey and excavation permit the fifteen scientists represented here much greater precision in determining the timing of the depopulation the number of people affected and the ways in which northern Pueblo peoples coped�and failed to cope�with the rapidly changing environmental and demographic conditions they encountered throughout the 1200s. In addition some of the scientists in this volume use models to provide insights into the processes behind the patterns they find helping to narrow the range of plausible explanations. What emerges from these investigations is a highly pertinent story of conflict and disruption as a result of climate change environmental degradation social rigidity and conflict. Taken as a whole these contributions recognize this era as having witnessed a competition between differing social and economic organizations in which selective migration was considerably hastened by severe climatic environmental and social upheaval. Moreover the chapters show that it is at least as true that emigration led to the collapse of the northern Southwest as it is that collapse led to emigration. "This exceptionally well-written and thought-provoking collection regarding the thirteenth-century occupation and abandonment of the Northern San Juan region and associated districts is an invaluable resource." �Journal of Anthropological Research "The contributors develop a robustly coherent picture of drought and environmental degradation that led to depopulation and violent conflict. Particularly interesting is the argument advanced by several contributors that out-migration itself caused social disruption that hastened further abandonment." �American Anthropologist University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2010 hardcover

SCHACHNER GREGSON
Population Circulation And The Transformation Of Ancient Zuni Communities
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Because nearly all aspects of culture depend on the movement of bodies objects and ideas mobility has been a primary topic during the past forty years of archaeological research on small-scale societies. Most studies have concentrated either on local moves related to subsistence within geographically bounded communities or on migrations between regions resulting from pan-regional social and environmental changes. Gregson Schachner however contends that a critical aspect of mobility is the transfer of people goods and information within regions. This type of movement which geographers term "population circulation" is vitally important in defining how both regional social systems and local communities are constituted maintained and�most important�changed. Schachner analyzes a population shift in the Zuni region of west-central New Mexico during the thirteenth century AD that led to the inception of major demographic changes the founding of numerous settlements in frontier zones and the initiation of radical transformations of community organization. Schachner argues that intraregional population circulation played a vital role in shaping social transformation in the region and that many notable changes during this period arose directly out of people's attempts to create new social mechanisms for coping with frequent and geographically extensive residential mobility. By examining multiple aspects of population circulation and comparing areas that were newly settled in the thirteenth century to some that had been continuously occupied for hundreds of years Schachner illustrates the role of population circulation in the formation of social groups and the creation of contexts conducive to social change.

GREGORY DAVID A. EDITOR; WILCOX DAVID R EDITOR; DOELLE WILLIAM H. FOREWORD
Zuni Origins: Toward A New Synthesis Of Southwestern Archaeology
University of Arizona Press Tucson 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. The Zuni are a Southwestern people whose origins have long intrigued anthropologists. This volume presents fresh approaches to that question from both anthropological and traditional perspectives Winner of a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Tittle Award. Zuni Origins contains an astonishing range of data insights arguments and perhaps a hint at how a new synthesis of Southwestern archaeology might be accomplished. It is a bold and productive attempt to evaluate an intriguing and important question. . . . A landmark volume. �Journal of Field Archaeology In format scope and quality of scholarship this volume is a Handbook of North American Indians just for Zuni. The book sets new standards for the archaeological assessment of culture genesis and development. �Canadian Journal of Archaeology exploring the origins of the tribe and the influences that have affected their way of life. Utilizing macro-regional approaches it brings together many decades of research in the Zuni and Mogollon areas incorporating archaeological evidence environmental data and linguistic analyses to propose new links among early Southwestern peoples. The findings reported here postulate the differentiation of the Zuni language at least 7000 to 8000 years ago following the initial peopling of the hemisphere and both formulate and test the hypothesis that many Mogollon populations were Zunian speakers. Some of the contributions situate Zuni within the developmental context of Southwestern societies from Paleoindian to Mogollon. Others test the Mogollon-Zuni hypothesis by searching for contrasts between these and neighboring peoples and tracing these contrasts through macro-regional analyses of environments sites pottery basketry and rock art. Several studies of late prehistoric and protohistoric settlement systems in the Zuni area then express more cautious views on the Mogollon connection and present insights from Zuni traditional history and cultural geography. Two internationally known scholars then critique the essays and the editors present a new research design for pursuing the question of Zuni origins. By taking stock and synthesizing what is currently known about the origins of the Zuni language and the development of modern Zuni culture Zuni Origins is the only volume to address this subject with such a breadth of data and interpretations. It will prove invaluable to archaeologists working throughout the North American Southwest as well as to others struggling with issues of ethnicity migration incipient agriculture and linguistic origins. 207 illustrations.

FALCONER STEVEN E. & REDMAN CHARLES EDITORS
Polities And Power: Archaeological Perspectives On The Landscapes Of Early States
University of Arizona Press Tucson . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This distinctive book is the first to address the topic of landscape archaeology in early states from a truly global perspective. It provides an excellent introduction to�and overview of�the discipline today. The volume grew out of the Fifth Biennial Meeting of the Complex Societies Group whose theme States and the Landscape paid tribute to the work of Robert McC. Adams. When Adams began publishing in the 1960s the interdependence of cities and their countrysides and the information revealed through the spatial patterning of communities went largely unrecognized. Today as this useful collection makes clear these interpretive insights are fundamental to all archaeologists who investigate the roles of complex polities in their landscapes. Polities and Power features detailed studies from an intentionally disparate array of regions including Mesoamerica Andean South America southwestern Asia East Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Each chapter or pair of chapters is followed by a critical commentary. In concert these studies strive to infer social political and economic meaning from archaeologically discerned landscapes associated with societies that incorporate some expression of state authority. The contributions engage a variety of themes including the significance of landscapes as they condition and reflect complex polities; the interplay of natural and cultural elements in defining landscapes of state; archaeological landscapes as ever-dynamic entities; and archaeological landscapes as recursive structures reflected in palimpsests of human activity. Individually many of these contributions are provocative even controversial. Taken together they reveal the contours of landscape archaeology at this particular evolutionary moment.

SIDER DAVID
The Library Of The Villa Dei Papiri At Herculaneum
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2005. Softcover. Brand new book. The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in A.D. 79 also buried nearby Herculaneum. Over time the location of the small town was forgotten but shortly after its rediscovery in the 1730s "excavations"�more properly treasure hunts�were organized to unearth ancient sculpture. The richest finds were from a villa that came to be called the Villa dei Papiri because it also yielded upward of a thousand papyrus rolls�the only library ever to have been recovered from the classical world. To the great excitement of contemporaries the papyri held out the tantalizing possibility of the rediscovery of lost masterpieces by classical writers. Written for the general reader this introduction to the ancient library describes the long and difficult history of attempts to unwind the damaged rolls. Sider discusses the texts that have been deciphered and puts them in the context of literacy and Roman society of the time. He describes the form of books in antiquity and the papyrus sheets on which they were written and he provides an account of attitudes toward books in Greece and Rome and surveys private and civic libraries in the ancient world. David Sider is professor of classics at New York University. Getty Publications, Los Angeles: 2005 paperback

The Greek Cities Of Magna Graecia And Sicily
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2004. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. After colonizing the Aegean islands and the coast of Asia Minor the ancient Greeks turned toward southern Italy and Sicily driven by the unrest that troubled their homeland in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C. The new arrivals brought with them their language their cultural and religious traditions and the institution of the polis. In Italy they created an autonomous political community that eventually surpassed the cities of Greece in wealth military power and architectural and cultural splendor. Such forefathers of Western philosophy as Pythagoras Parmenides and Archimedes lived and worked within this civilization. The Greek Cities of Magna Graecia and Sicily presents an overview of Greek colonization in Italy and the principal historical events that took place in this area from the Archaic period until the ascendancy of the Romans. This comprehensive survey is followed by a review of the major archaeological sites in the region. Luca Cerchiai is professor of Italian archaeology and Etruscology at the University of Salerno. Lorena Jannelli is archaeological inspector at the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici of Liguria.

Houses And Monuments Of Pompeii: The Work Of Fausto And Felice Niccolini
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2002. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The discovery of and excavations at Pompeii in the second half of the eighteenth century not only provided historians with a trove of information about ancient Roman civilization but also fired artists' imaginations and inaugurated the vogue for the Pompeian style that so influenced the West in the nineteenth century. This book reproduces along with commentary Le case i monumenti di Pompeii 1854 of Fausto and Felice Niccolini the first work to present completely and systematically all the public and private buildings so far excavated in Pompeii. It features the wondrous watercolors the Niccolinis created to document Pompeii and is thus a beautiful and essential tool in understanding the excavated remains themselves and how the modern archaeologists perceived and recorded the ancient world. These magnificently reproduced drawings of the excavations are accompanied by texts that explain the documents by the Niccolinis as well as the evolution of the Pompeian style in Europe the pictorial representation of Pompeii in the nineteenth century from engravings to photographs and the evolving styles of archaeological documentation. "Superb." - Archaeology "Included in Editors' Picks" - Archaeology "The sumptuous publication not only prints some of the best of the Niccolini brothers' plates but. explains the rich and dramatic impact of the Pompeiian discoveries on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century imaginative and artistic life." - Architectural Review Getty Publications, Los Angeles: 2002 hardcover

LEWIN ARIEL; MENDREA DINU; MENDREA SANDU & MENDREA RADU PHOTOGRAPHS
The Archaeology Of Ancient Judea And Palestine
Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2005. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The regions that compose the current state of Israel and the emerging state of Palestine have yielded a wealth of fascinating archaeological evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls found in a cave in 1947 by a Bedouin searching for a lost sheep to the remains of Roman camps and King Herod's luxurious palaces at the besieged city of Masada. The author begins with introductions to the complicated and turbulent history of the region in which a series of invaders including Babylonians Assyrians Persians and Macedonians conquered and ruled over its people. The long reign of the Romans in the area is given particular attention a reign that produced the infamous client-rulers Herod the Great and Pontius Pilate as well as two Jewish revolts against their Roman overlords both of which met with brutal suppression. Lewin also analyzes eighteen ancient city-sites including the familiar such as Jerusalem and Bethlehem and the less well-known such as Herodion with its extravagant palace-fortress and Scythopolis with its Roman temples and baths. This book provides an enlightening overview of a region that continues to capture the attention of the world. Ariel Lewin is an instructor in Roman history at the University of Basilicata Pontenza Italy and the author of The Roman Imperial City in the East. Getty Publications, Los Angeles: 2005 hardcover

PYKLES BENJAMIN C; SCHUYLER ROBERT C FOREWORD
Excavating Nauvoo: The Mormons And The Rise Of Historical Archaeology In America
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This detailed study of the excavation and restoration of the city of Nauvoo Illinois reveals the roots of historical archaeology. In the late 1960s the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sponsored an archaeology program to authentically restore the city of Nauvoo which was founded along the Mississippi River in the 1840s by the Mormons as they moved west. Non-Mormon scholars were also interested in Nauvoo because it was representative of several western frontier towns in this era. As the archaeology and restoration of Nauvoo progressed however conflicts arose particularly regarding control of the site and its interpretation for the public. The field of historical archaeology was just coming into its own during this period with myriad perspectives and doctrines being developed and tested. The Nauvoo site was one of the places where the discipline was forged. This well-researched account weaves together multiple viewpoints in examining the many contentious issues surrounding the archaeology and restoration of the city of Nauvoo Illinois providing an illuminating picture of the early days of professional historical archaeology. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2010 hardcover

HARDESTY DONALD L
Mining Archaeology In The American West: A View From The Silver State
University of Nebraska Press Lincoln: 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Mining played a prominent role in the shaping and settling of the American West in the nineteenth century. Following the discovery of the famous Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1859 mining became increasingly industrialized changing mining technology society and culture throughout the world. In the wake of these changes Nevada became an important mining region with new people and technologies further altering the ways mining was pursued and miners interacted. Historical archaeology offers a research strategy for understanding mining and miners that integrates three independent sources of information about the past: physical remains documents and oral testimony. Mining Archaeology in the American West explores mining culture and practices through the microcosm of Nevada's mining frontier. The history of mining technology the social and cultural history of miners and mining societies and the landscapes and environments of mining are topics examined in this multifocus research. In this updated and expanded edition of the seminal work on mining in Nevada Donald Hardesty brings scholarship up to the present with important new research and insights into how people technology culture architecture and landscape changed during this period of mining history.

NIELSEN AXEL E. EDITOR; WALKER WILLIAM EDITOR
Warfare In Cultural Context: Practice Agency And The Archaeology Of Violence
University of Arizona Press Tucson . Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Warfare is a constant in human history. According to the contributors to this volume archaeologists have assumed that�within certain socioenvironmental parameters�war is always essentially the same phenomenon and follows a common logic breaking out under similar conditions and having analogous effects on the people involved. In pursuit of this idea archaeologists have built models to account for the occurrence of war in various times and places. The models are then tested against prehistoric evidence to make the causes and conduct of war predictable and data-based. However contributors argue this model-and-evidence approach has given rise to multiple competing hypotheses and ambiguity rather than to full coherent explanations of what turns out to be surprisingly complex acts of war. The chapters in Warfare in Cultural Context contend that agency and culture inherited values and dispositions such as religion and other cultural practices beliefs and institutions are always woven into the conduct of war. This revealing book focuses on the ways that specific people construed their interests and life projects and their problems and possibilities and consequently chose among alternative courses of action. Using archaeological and ethnohistorical data from various parts of the world the contributors explore the multiple avenues for the cultural study of warfare that these ideas make possible. Contributions focus on cultural aspects of warfare in Mesoamerica South America North America and Southeast Asia. Case studies include warfare among the Maya Inca southwestern Pueblos Mississippian cultures and the Enga of Papua New Guinea. University of Arizona Press, Tucson hardcover

COLWELL CHANTHAPHONH CHIP
Inheriting The Past: The Making Of Arthur C Parker And Indigenous Archaeology
University of Arizona Press Tucson . Softcover. Brand new book. In recent years archaeologists and Native American communities have struggled to find common ground even though more than a century ago a man of Seneca descent raised on New York's Cattaraugus Reservation Arthur C. Parker joined the ranks of professional archaeology. Until now Parker's life and legacy as the first Native American archaeologist have been neither closely studied nor widely recognized. At a time when heated debates about the control of Native American heritage have come to dominate archaeology Parker's experiences form a singular lens to view the field's tangled history and current predicaments with Indigenous peoples. In Inheriting the Past Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh examines Parker's winding career path and asks why it has taken generations for Native peoples to follow in his footsteps. Closely tracing Parker's life through extensive archival research Colwell-Chanthaphonh explores how Parker crafted a professional identity and negotiated dilemmas arising from questions of privilege ownership authorship and public participation. How Parker as well as the discipline more broadly chose to address the conflict between Native American rights and the pursuit of scientific discovery ultimately helped form archaeology's moral community. Parker's rise in archaeology just as the field was taking shape demonstrates that Native Americans could have found a place in the scholarly pursuit of the past years ago and altered its trajectory. Instead it has taken more than a century to articulate the promise of an Indigenous archaeology�an archaeological practice carried out by for and with Native peoples. As the current generation of researchers explores new possibilities of inclusiveness Parker's struggles and successes serve as a singular reference point to reflect on archaeology's history and its future.

REID JEFFERSON; WHITTLESEY STEPHANIE
Prehistory Personality And Place: Emil W Haury And The Mogollon Controversy
University of Arizona Press Tucson 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. When Emil Haury defined the ancient Mogollon in the 1930s as a culture distinct from their Ancestral Pueblo and Hohokam neighbors he triggered a major intellectual controversy in the history of The importance of place is the deep secret of southwest archaeology and Reid and Whittlesey are to be congratulated for bringing it to the surface with such eloquence. They are uniquely able to discuss Haury and the Mogollon controversy with personal experience that would be difficult for others to match. �James E. Snead author of Ruins and Rivals: The Making of Southwest Archaeology southwestern archaeology centering on whether the Mogollon were truly a different culture or merely a "backwoods variant" of a better-known people. In this book archaeologists Jefferson Reid and Stephanie Whittlesey tell the story of the remarkable individuals who discovered the Mogollon culture fought to validate it and eventually resolved the controversy. Reid and Whittlesey present the arguments and actions surrounding the Mogollon discovery definition and debate. Drawing on extensive interviews conducted with Haury before his death in 1992 they explore facets of the debate that scholars pursued at various times and places and how ultimately the New Archaeology shifted attention from the research questions of cultural affiliation and antiquity that had been at the heart of the controversy. In gathering the facts and anecdotes surrounding the debate Reid and Whittlesey offer a compelling picture of an academician who was committed to understanding the unwritten past who believed wholeheartedly in the techniques of scientific archaeology and who used his influence to assist scholarship rather than to advance his own career. Prehistory Personality and Place depicts a real archaeologist practicing real archaeology one that fashioned from potsherds and pit houses a true understanding of prehistoric peoples. But more than the chronicle of a controversy it is a book about places and personalities: the role of place in shaping archaeologists' intellect and personalities as well as the unusual intersections of people and places that produced resolutions of some intractable problems in Southwest history.

SPEER JAMES H
Fundamentals Of Tree-ring Research
University of Arizona Press Tucson 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Tree-ring dating dendrochronology is a method of scientific dating based on the analysis of tree-ring growth patterns. As author James Speer notes trees are remarkable bioindicators. Although there are other scientific means of dating climatic and environmental events dendrochronology provides the most reliable of all paleorecords. Dendrochronology can be applied to very old trees to provide long-term records of past temperature rainfall fire insect outbreaks landslides hurricanes and ice storms�to name only a few events. This comprehensive text addresses all of the subjects that a reader who is new to the field will need to know and will be a welcome reference for practitioners at all levels. It includes a history of the discipline biological and ecological background principles of the field basic scientific information on the structure and growth of trees the complete range of dendrochronology methods and a full description of each of the relevant subdisciplines. Individual chapters address the composition of wood methods of field and laboratory study dendroarchaeology dendroclimatology dendroecology dendrogeomorphology and dendrochemistry. The book also provides thorough introductions to common computer programs and methods of statistical analysis. In the final chapter the author describes "frontiers in dendrochronology" with an eye toward future directions in the field. He concludes with several useful appendixes including a listing of tree and shrub species that have been used successfully by dendrochronologists. Throughout photographs and illustrations visually represent the state of knowledge in the field. University of Arizona Press, Tucson 2010 hardcover

SCHEIBER LAURA L & MITCHELL MARK D. EDITORS
Across A Great Divide: Continuity And Change In Native North American Societies 1400-1900
University of Arizona Press Tucson 2010. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Archaeological research is uniquely positioned to show how native history and native culture affected the course of colonial interaction but to do so it must transcend colonialist ideas about Native American technological and social change. This book applies that insight to five hundred years of native history. Using data from a wide variety of geographical temporal and cultural settings the contributors examine economic social and political stability and transformation in indigenous societies before and after the advent of Europeans and document the diversity of native colonial experiences. The book's case studies range widely from sixteenth-century Florida to the Great Plains to nineteenth-century coastal Alaska. The contributors address a series of interlocking themes. Several consider the role of indigenous agency in the processes of colonial interaction paying particular attention to gender and status. Others examine the ways long-standing native political economies affected and were in turn affected by colonial interaction. A third group explores colonial-period ethnogenesis emphasizing the emergence of new native social identities and relations after 1500. The book also highlights tensions between the detailed study of local cases and the search for global processes a recurrent theme in postcolonial research. If archaeologists are to bridge the artificial divide separating history from prehistory they must overturn a whole range of colonial ideas about American Indians and their history. This book shows that empirical archaeological research can help replace long-standing models of indigenous culture change rooted in colonialist narratives with more nuanced multilinear models of change�and play a major role in decolonizing knowledge about native peoples.

STARBUCK DAVID R
Excavating The Sutlers' House: Artifacts Of The British Armies In Fort Edward And Lake George
University Press of New England: 2010. Softcover. Brand new book. David Starbuck and his colleagues have been excavating British military sites in Fort Edward and Lake George New York for two decades. This region housed the largest British forts and encampments of the French and Indian War 1754-1763 with as many as 16000 soldiers and officers garrisoned there. In 1996 on the east bank of the Hudson River Starbuck's team unearthed the remarkable remains of a sutlers' or merchants' house which had supplied goods to the British armies throughout the late 1750s. Because no eighteenth-century sutling house had ever before been professionally excavated this site offered an amazing opportunity for research and discovery. This beautifully illustrated volume focuses on the rich and varied material culture brought to this region by the British armies and their suppliers including representative artifacts found at Rogers Island Fort Edward Fort William Henry and the Lake George Battlefield Park. Organized around material themes such as weaponry and ammunition food and foodways and tools and equipment Excavating the Sutlers' House provides a fascinating overview of artifacts from the French and Indian War to the American Revolution.

FELL BARRY
America B. C.: Ancient Settlers In The New World
Pocket Books New York: 1978. Softcover. Reading copy. It has long been taken for granted that the first European visitors to American shores either sailed with Columbus in 1492 or may have been Norsemen like Leif Erikson a full five centuries earlier. But the history of our land before that date has so far remained lost in native Indian legends. Now Harvard professor Barry Fell has uncovered evidence to replace those legends with myth-shattering fact. With illuminating text and over 100 pictures he describes ancient European temple inscriptions from New England and the Midwest that date back as far as 800 B.C. Includes an Index. "A stunning book . . . an authentic landmark . . . destroys the premise of every previous text." - Peter Tompkins author of Secrets of the Great Pyramid ISBN: 067179079X.
