American cities have been built, altered, redeveloped, destroyed,
reimagined, and rebuilt for nearly 300 years in order to
accommodate growing and shrinking populations and their needs.
Urban archaeology is a unique subfield with its own peculiar
challenges and approaches to fieldwork. Understanding the social
forces that influenced the development of American cities requires
more than digging; it calls for the ability to extrapolate from
limited data, an awareness of the dynamics that drive urban
development, and theories that can build bridges to connect the
two. At the forefront of this exciting field of research, Nan
Rothschild and Diana Wall are well suited to introduce this
fascinating topic to a broad readership. Following a brief
introduction, the authors offer specific case studies of work
undertaken in New York, Philadelphia, Tucson, West Oakland, and
many other cities. Ideal for undergraduates, The Archaeology of
American Cities utilizes the material culture of the past to
highlight recurring themes that reflect distinctive characteristics
of urban life in the United States.
