In a dynamic near half-century career of insight, engagement, and
instruction, Kent G. Lightfoot transformed North American
archaeology through his innovative ideas, robust collaborations,
thoughtful field projects, and mentoring of numerous students.
Authors emphasize the multifarious ways Lightfoot impacted—and
continues to impact—approaches to archaeological inquiry,
anthropological engagement, indigenous issues, and professionalism.
Four primary themes include: negotiations of intercultural
entanglements in pluralistic settings; transformations of temporal
and spatial archaeological dimensions, as well as theoretical and
methodological innovations; engagement with contemporary people and
issues; and leading by example with honor, humor, and humility.
These reflect the remarkable depth, breadth, and growth in
Lightfoot’s career, despite his unwavering stylistic devotion to
Hawaiian shirts.
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.
