Rethinking Colonial Pasts through Archaeology explores the
archaeologies of daily living left by the indigenous and other
displaced peoples impacted by European colonial expansion over the
last 600 years. This new, comparative focus on the archaeology of
indigenous and colonized life has emerged from the gap in
conceptual frames of reference between the archaeologies of
pre-contact indigenous peoples, and the post-contact archaeologies
of the global European experience. Case studies from North America,
Australia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Ireland significantly revise
conventional historical narratives of those interactions, their
presumed impacts, and their ongoing relevance for the material,
social, economic, and political lives and identities of
contemporary indigenous and other peoples (e.g. metis or mixed
ancestry families, and other displaced or colonized communities).
The volume provides a synthetic overview of the trends emerging
from this research, contextualizing regional studies in relation to
the broader theoretical contributions they reveal, demonstrating
how this area of study is contributing to an archaeology practiced
and interpreted beyond conceptual constraints such as pre versus
post contact, indigenous versus European, history versus
archaeology, and archaeologist versus descendant. In addition, the
work featured here underscores how this revisionist archaeological
perspective challenges dominant tropes that persist in the
conventional colonial histories of descendant colonial nation
states, and contributes to a de-colonizing of that past in the
present. The implications this has for archaeological practice, and
for the contemporary descendants of colonized peoples, brings a
relevance and immediacy to these archaeological studies that
resonates with, and problemetizes, contested claims to a global
archaeological heritage.
