Several decades of research into the archaeology of contact in
North America have laid the foundations for the global exploration
of the archaeology of European colonization. It is significant,
however, that archaeologists, unlike historians and geographers,
have yet to develop a global account of contact and its
consequences. This edited work presents case studies from nations
developed from British settlement so as to allow historical
archaeologists to examine differences and similarities between the
histories of modern colonial societies world-wide. Written by an
international team of experts, the work shows that historical
archaeologies can assume marvellously different and suggestive
forms when examined from the periphery. Furthermore, the
imperatives of the periphery could result in different perspectives
on North American and European archaeological contexts. The work
also examines the role of a global vision of the historical
archaeology of colonialism in providing a new basis for the
evolution of the 'nation'.
