The Routledge Handbook of the Archaeology of Indigenous-Colonial
Interaction in the Americas brings together scholars from across
the hemisphere to examine how archaeology can highlight the myriad
ways that Indigenous people have negotiated colonial systems from
the fifteenth century through to today. The contributions offer a
comprehensive look at where the archaeology of colonialism has been
and where it is heading. Geographically diverse case studies
highlight longstanding theoretical and methodological issues as
well as emerging topics in the field. The organization of chapters
by key issues and topics, rather than by geography, fosters
exploration of the commonalities and contrasts between historical
contingencies and scholarly interpretations. Throughout the volume,
Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors grapple with the
continued colonial nature of archaeology and highlight Native
perspectives on the potential of using archaeology to remember and
tell colonial histories. This volume is the ideal starting point
for students interested in how archaeology can illuminate
Indigenous agency in colonial settings. Professionals, including
academic and cultural resource management archaeologists, will find
it a convenient reference for a range of topics related to the
archaeology of colonialism in the Americas.

Highlighting collaborative archaeological research that centers the
enduring histories of Native peoples in North America Challenging
narratives of Indigenous cultural loss and disappearance that are
still prevalent in the archaeological study of colonization, this
book highlights collaborative research and efforts to center the
enduring histories of Native peoples in North America through case
studies from several regions across the continent. The contributors
to this volume, including Indigenous scholars and Tribal resource
managers, examine different ways that archaeologists can center
long-term Indigenous presence in the practices of fieldwork,
laboratory analysis, scholarly communication, and public
interpretation. These conversations range from ways to reframe
colonial encounters in light of Indigenous persistence to the
practicalities of identifying poorly documented sites dating to the
late nineteenth century. In recognizing Indigenous presence in the
centuries after 1492, this volume counters continued patterns of
unknowing in archaeology and offers new perspectives on
decolonizing the field. These essays show how this approach can
help expose silenced histories, modeling research practices that
acknowledge Tribes as living entities with their own rights,
interests, and epistemologies.

Spanish missions in North America were once viewed as confining and
stagnant communities, with native peoples on the margins of the
colonial enterprise. Recent archaeological and ethnohistorical
research challenges that notion." Indigenous Landscapes and Spanish
Missions "considers how native peoples actively incorporated the
mission system into their own dynamic existence. The book, written
by diverse scholars and edited by Lee M. Panich and Tsim D.
Schneider, covers missions in the Spanish borderlands from
California to Texas to Georgia.
Offering thoughtful arguments and innovative perspectives, the
editors organized the book around three interrelated themes. The
first section explores power, politics, and belief, recognizing
that Spanish missions were established within indigenous landscapes
with preexisting tensions, alliances, and belief systems. The
second part, addressing missions from the perspective of indigenous
inhabitants, focuses on their social, economic, and historical
connections to the surrounding landscapes. The final section
considers the varied connections between mission communities and
the world beyond the mission walls, including examinations of how
mission neophytes, missionaries, and colonial elites vied for land
and natural resources.
I"ndigenous Landscapes and Spanish Missions "offers a holistic
view on the consequences of missionization and the active
negotiation of missions by indigenous peoples, revealing
cross-cutting perspectives into the complex and contested histories
of the Spanish borderlands. This volume challenges readers to
examine deeply the ways in which native peoples negotiated
colonialism not just inside the missions themselves but also within
broader indigenous landscapes. This book will be of interest to
archaeologists, historians, tribal scholars, and anyone interested
in indigenous encounters with colonial institutions.
