The Archaeology of Contact in Settler SocietiesTim Murray This collected work explores the ways in which archaeologists are writing the histories of relationships between European settlers and the indigenous populations in order to establish a global perspective on the archaeology of contact. An international team of experts examines the historical archaeology of contact and its aftermath and considers the consequences of colonialism in settler societies from the sixteenth century to the present day. This work's global vision is unique and presents an innovative exploration of issues which are, in our postcolonial world, assuming major social and political importance. |
