North American Archaeology cover

This volume offers a rich and informative introduction to North American archaeology for all those interested in the history and culture of North American natives.


  • Organized around central topics and debates within the discipline.
  • Illustrated with case studies based on the lives of real people, to emphasize human agency, cultural practice, the body, issues of inequality, and the politics of archaeological practice.
  • Highlights current understandings of cultural and historical processes in North America and situates these understandings within a global perspective.

"[I] think that every instructor of North American prehistory should own this book, because I think it will enrich their lectures and widen their perspectives, whether they agree with the positions taken by the authors or not." (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, September 2008)

"North American Archaeology generally achieves its aims; it is an easy read and explains many key concepts in an approachable way for upper level students." (Australian Archaeology)
