| Synopsis: |
Material culture is focal - large cities, small potsherds, big and little bones. This book is interdisciplinary and goes inside the process of artefact interpretation to reveal how artefacts "talk" about people. The emphasis is context, ethnography, ordinary and extraordinary men, women, and children. Here is local history in material form as well as stones of global expansion and culture contact. This book integrates studies of ethnicity with historical archaeology with chapters looking at African-American artefacts and features, the Chinese in California and native Americans and their role in mytho-history. |
