Historical archaeologists examine the American West through a diverse range of lenses, including culture contact, colonialism, labor, migration, and identity. This comprehensive volume centers its analysis on landscapes, exploring the interplay between space (a geographic location) and place (the lived experience of a locale) in their myriad manifestations. The book is organized into three thematic sections: the West as space, the West as community, and the West today. It brings together case studies from across the American West, incorporating multivocal contributions and perspectives from archaeology, anthropology, Indigenous studies, history, Latinx studies, geography, and material culture studies.
Contributors to this volume engage in critical discussions about how historical archaeologists define the West, encompassing the historical, mythical, and physical aspects of placemaking. They address issues of community and the diverse ways in which ethnic, racial, gendered, labor-based, and other demographic populations expressed their identities within and on the Western landscape. Authors also explore the ongoing creation and re-creation of the West in the present, examining the impact of the past on people in the present and its influence on modern conceptions of the American West.
Through their multidisciplinary approaches, historical archaeologists shed light on the complex and multifaceted nature of the American West, providing valuable insights into its past, present, and future. This volume serves as a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the rich cultural and historical heritage of this region.
