European expansion into the New World fundamentally altered
Indigenous populations. The collision between East and West led to
the most recent human adaptive transition that spread around the
world. Paradoxically, these are some of the least scientifically
understood processes of the human past. Representing a new
generation of contact and colonialism studies, this volume expands
on the traditional focus on the health of conquered peoples by
considering how extraordinary biological and cultural
transformations were incorporated into the human body and reflected
in behavior, identity, and adaptation.By examining changes in diet,
mortuary practices, and diseases, these globally diverse case
studies demonstrate that the effects of conquest reach further than
was ever thought before-to both the colonized and the colonizers.
People on all sides of colonial contact became entangled in
cultural and biological transformations of social identities,
foodways, social structures, and gene pools at points of contact
and beyond. Contributors to this volume illustrate previously
unknown and variable effects of colonialism by analyzing skeletal
remains and burial patterns from never-before-studied regions in
the Americas to the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The result is
the first step toward a new synthesis of archaeology and
bioarchaeology. Contributors: Rosabella Alvarez-Calderon, Elliot H.
