BORN A SLAVE, DIED A PIONEER<\/a>
Nathan Harrison and the Historical Archaeology of Legend<\/strong>
Seth Mallios<\/em>

Few people in the history of the United States embody ideals of the American Dream more than Nathan Harrison. His is a story with prominent themes of overcoming staggering obstacles, forging something-from-nothing, and evincing gritty perseverance. In a lifetime of hard-won progress, Harrison survived the horrors of slavery in the Antebellum South, endured the mania of the California Gold Rush, and prospered in the rugged chaos of the Wild West. This book uses spectacular recent discoveries from the Nathan Harrison cabin site to offer new insights and perspectives into this most American biography.

AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF UNCHECKED CAPITALISM<\/a>
The American Rust Belt to the Developing World<\/strong>
Paul A. Shackel<\/em>

The racialization of immigrant labor and the labor strife in the coal and textile communities in northeastern Pennsylvania appears to be an isolated incident in history. Rather this history can serve as a touchstone, connecting the history of the exploited laborers to today\u2019s labor in the global economy. By drawing parallels between the past and present \u2013 for example, the coal mines of the nineteenth-century northeastern Pennsylvania and the sweatshops of the twenty-first century in Bangladesh \u2013 we can have difficult conversations about the past and advance our commitment to address social justice issues.

THE SOUND OF SILENCE<\/a>
Indigenous Perspectives on the Historical Archaeology of Colonialism<\/strong>
Edited by Tiina \u00c4ik\u00e4s and Anna-Kaisa Salmi<\/em>
Afterword by Alistair Paterson and Shino Konishi<\/em>

Colonial encounters between indigenous peoples and European state powers are overarching themes in the historical archaeology of the modern era, and postcolonial historical archaeology has repeatedly emphasized the complex two-way nature of colonial encounters. This volume examines common trajectories in indigenous colonial histories, and explores new ways to understand cultural contact, hybridization and power relations between indigenous peoples and colonial powers from the indigenous point of view. By bringing together a wide geographical range and combining multiple sources such as oral histories, historical records, and contemporary discourses with archaeological data, the volume finds new multivocal interpretations of colonial histories.

INVISIBLE FOUNDERS<\/a>
How Two Centuries of African American Families Transformed a Plantation into a College<\/strong>
Lynn Rainville<\/em>

Literal and metaphorical excavations at Sweet Briar College reveal how African American labor enabled the transformation of Sweet Briar Plantation into a private women\u2019s college in 1906. This volume tells the story of the invisible founders of a college founded by and for white women. Despite being built and maintained by African American families, the college did not integrate its student body for sixty years after it opened. In the process, Invisible Founders<\/em> challenges our ideas of what a college \u201cfounder\u201d is, restoring African American narratives to their deserved and central place in the story of a single institution \u2014 one that serves as a microcosm of the American South.

MAGICAL HOUSE PROTECTION<\/a>
The Archaeology of Counter-Witchcraft<\/strong>
Brian Hoggard<\/em>

Belief in magic and particularly the power of witchcraft was once a deep and enduring presence in popular culture; people created and concealed many objects to protect themselves from harmful magic. Detailed are the principal forms of magical house protection in Britain and beyond from the fourteenth century to the present day. Witch-bottles, dried cats, horse skulls, written charms, protection marks and concealed shoes were all used widely as methods of repelling, diverting or trapping negative energies. Many of these practices and symbols can be found around the globe, demonstrating the universal nature of efforts by people to protect themselves from witchcraft.

MIXED HARVEST<\/a>
Scenes from the Human Past<\/strong>
Robert Swigart<\/em>

In unforgettable stories of the human journey, a combination of storytelling and dialogue underscore an excavation into the deep past of human development and its consequences. Through a first encounter between a Neanderthal woman and the Modern Human she called Traveler, to the emergence and destruction of the world\u2019s first cities, Mixed Harvest<\/em> tells the tale of the Sedentary Divide, the most significant event since modern humans emerged. Rob Swigart\u2019s latest work humanizes the rapid transition to agriculture and pastoralism with a grounding in the archaeological record.

EXPERIENCING ARCHAEOLOGY<\/a>
A Laboratory Manual of Classroom Activities, Demonstrations, and Minilabs for Introductory Archaeology<\/strong>
Lara Homsey-Messer, Tracy Michaud, Angela Lockard Reed, and Victoria Bobo<\/em>

See accompanying Instructor’s Edition<\/a>

Today, many general-education archaeology courses are large, lecture-style class formats that present a challenge to providing students, particularly non-majors, with opportunities to learn experientially. This laboratory-style manual compiles a wide variety of uniquely designed, hands-on classroom activities to acquaint advanced high school and introductory college students to the field of archaeology. Ranging in length from five to thirty minutes, activities created by archaeologists are designed to break up traditional classroom lectures, engage students of all learning styles, and easily integrate into large classes and\/or short class periods that do not easily accommodate traditional laboratory work.

Thomas F. King<\/em>

Stressing the interdisciplinary, public-policy oriented character of Cultural Resource Management (CRM), which is not merely \u201capplied archaeology,\u201d this short, relatively uncomplicated introduction is aimed at emerging archaeologists. Drawing on fifty-plus years\u2019 experience, and augmented by the advice of fourteen collaborators, Cultural Resource Management<\/em> explains what \u201cCRM archaeologists\u201d do, and explores the public policy, ethical, and pragmatic implications of doing it for a living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLAYING WITH THE PAST<\/a>
Exploring Values in Heritage Practice
Kate Clark<\/em>

Heritage is all around us, not just in monuments and museums, but in places that matter, in the countryside and in collections and stories. It touches all of us. How do we decide what to preserve? How do we make the case for heritage when there are so many other priorities? Playing with the Past<\/em> is the first ever action-learning book about heritage. Over eighty creative activities and games encompass the basics of heritage practice, from management and decisionmaking to community engagement and leadership. Although designed to \u2018train the trainers\u2019, the activities in the book are relevant to anyone involved in caring for heritage.

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATION<\/a>
Development and Fostering Stewardship for an Archaeological Future<\/strong>
Edited by Katherine M. Erdman<\/em>

The world\u2019s collective archaeological heritage is threatened by war, development, poverty, climate change, and ignorance. To protect our collective past, archaeologists must involve the general public through interpersonal experiences that develop an interest in the field at a young age and foster that interest throughout a person\u2019s life. Contributors to this volume share effective approaches for engaging and educating learners of all ages about archaeology and how one can encourage them to become stewards of the past. They offer applied examples that are not bound to specific geographies or cultures, but rather, are approaches that can be implemented almost anywhere.

International Monographs in Prehistory: <\/strong>
Archaeological Series<\/a> and Ethnoarchaeology Series<\/a>

International Monographs in Prehistory<\/em> publishes monographs in all areas of archaeological and ethnoarchaeological research. There are no geographical, topical, temporal, or other specific limitations. Monographs should pursue both data and theory, but never data devoid of theoretical context and impact, nor theory which is not exemplified by or tested against data. Although a distinction is often drawn between theoretical and substantive works in archaeology, this series seeks work of significance containing elements of both theory and substance. Monographs in the series will have immediate impact and long-lasting value in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Archaeology: Documenting the Anthropocene<\/a>
Andrew Reinhard<\/strong>, Series Editor<\/em>

The new archaeology of the late 20th and 21st centuries (the Anthropocene) supplements traditional landscapes, sites, and artifacts with those that are digital. People increasingly inhabit digital places, investing time and money into spaces accessed only by screens. Corporations continue to create these mass-produced digital built environments in the form of hardware and software on both physical and cloud-based media. This series aims to answer the questions of what digital heritage looks like and how it can be understood archaeologically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies in Post-Industrial Life<\/a>
Michael Roller and Paul A. Shackel,<\/strong> Series Editors<\/em>

The industrial world has experienced a profound upheaval over the last few decades as long-established modes of stable regional economic growth have given way to precarity. Post-industrial life is not merely an upheaval in the economic realm, but also reflects profound political, social, cultural, material and aesthetic changes to everyday life. Scholars grapple with understanding the meaning of the remains of post-industrial landscapes and how they are perceived by different stakeholders. This series provides an avenue for scholars to discuss the post-industrial landscape as a political project that has an outcome in urban and environmental decay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
