A timely contribution to a discussion of both diverse methods and application case studies. These essays feature both senior and emerging scholars who explore a variety of cases to illustrate the promise (and peril) of placing material culture analysis in conversation with the historical documentary record, and, less so, in contemporary discourse with the curated traditional knowledge of Indigenous descendants today. --James F. Brooks, Gable Distinguished Chair in History, University of Georgia Research Professor in History & Anthropology This work is significant on several levels. First, while the region of interest is the U.S. Southwest - NW Mexico borderlands, the impact of these chapters is much wider, across time and space. Within the volume, the chapters illustrate the diversity of cultures, traditions, and material remains which connect broad types of data. The book should be of interest to archaeologists, historians, ethnohistorians, Native American studies scholars, ethnographers, and scholars in other related fields. It is a multidisciplinary work with broad implications. --John Douglass, vice president of research and standards, Statistical Research, Inc.
