The record of human impact on world environments is undeniable;
scholarship has shown that the ecosystems we live in today are
structured by human behavior. Equally undeniable is the fact that
events such as war, disaster, disease, or economic decay have, at
various times throughout history, led to the human abandonment of
particular environments. What happens to a human-structured
environment when the way people use it suddenly changes? In
Questioning Rebound, authors Emily Lena Jones and Jacob L. Fisher
explore the archaeological record of a time when the human
footprint on the land abruptly shifted: the period immediately
following European contact in the Americas. During this time of
disease-driven mortality, genocide, incarceration, and forced labor
of Indigenous peoples, American landscapes changed in fundamental
ways, producing short-lived ecosystems that later became the basis
of myths about the American environments. Questioning Rebound
explores the record and the causes of environmental change during
the post-Columbian period, featuring case studies throughout the
Americas. While both the record for and the apparent causes of the
changes in the human footprint vary, the record of post- Columbian
environmental change consistently reflects the environmental
impacts of past social upheaval.
