Historical archaeologists explore landscapes in the
American West through many lenses, including culture
contact, colonialism, labor, migration, and identity. This
volume sets landscape at the center of analysis, examining
space (a geographic location) and place (the lived
experience of a locale) in their myriad permutations. Divided
into three thematic sections—the West as space, the West
as community, and the West today—the book pulls
together case studies from across the American West and
incorporates multivocal contributions and perspectives
from archaeology, anthropology, Indigenous studies,
history, Latinx studies, geography, and material culture
studies. Contributors tackle questions of how
historical archaeologists theoretically and
methodologically define the West, conveying the historical,
mythological, and physical manifestations of placemaking.
They confront issues of community and how diverse
ethnic, racial, gendered, labor-based, and other
demographic populations expressed their identities on and in
the Western landscape. Authors also address the
continued creation and re-creation of the West today,
exploring the impact of the past on people in the present and
its influence on modern conceptions of the American West.
