Historical Archaeology Through a Western Lens (2017)
Mark Warner and Margaret Purser, editors
Historical Archaeology of the American West Series
SALE PRICE $42 (Regular price $70)
The work of many western-based historical archaeologists over the past decade has revealed narratives that often sharply challenge the mythic west as unchanging and timeless. Historical Archaeology Through a Western Lens presents an archaeological past that is distinct to the region, highlighting a western history characterized by rapid and ever-changing interactions between diverse groups of people across a wide range of environmental and economic situations. Chapter authors: Margaret Purser, James P. Delgado, Robert J. Cromwell, Mark Walker, Joe Watkins, Kelly J. Dixon and Carrie Smith, Douglas E. Ross, Bonnie J. Clark, Minette Church, Timothy James Scarlett, Mark Warner, and Matthew Johnson.
 
 
The Importance of British Material Culture to Historical Archaeologies of the Nineteenth Century (2015)
Alasdair Brooks, editor
Society for Historical Archaeology Series in Material Culture Series
SALE PRICE $54 (Regular price $90)
British manufactured goods were widespread in British colonies and beyond. Until recently archaeologists have given relatively little attention to such goods in Britain itself, thereby missing what is often revealing and useful contextual information for historical archaeologists working in countries where British goods were consumed while also leaving significant portions of Britain’s own archaeological record poorly understood. The Importance of British Material Culture to Historical Archaeologies of the Nineteenth Century helps fill these gaps, through case studies demonstrating the importance and meaning of mass-produced material culture in Britain from the birth of the Industrial Revolution (mid-1700s) to early World War II. Authors: Alasdair Brooks, Aileen Connor, and Rachel Clarke; Chris Jarrett, Morag Cross, and Alistair Robertson; Jennifer Basford; C. Broughton Anderson; Carolyn L. White; Richard Thomas; Annie Gray; Ralph Mills; Harold Mytum; Penny Crook; and James Symonds.
