  • Monumentality in the hunter-gathererfisher landscapes of the Greater San Francisco Bay, California

    Kent G Lightfoot, E M Luby et al.ARTICLEHunter Gatherer Research2017

    This paper explores the merits of interpreting central California shell mounds as purposefully constructed monuments. The authors employ three expectations from the recent literature to evaluate if Native Californians built monuments from shell. The results indicate that they did not erect standalone monuments during large communal gatherings in one or more rapid pulses of construction as described for huntergatherers elsewhere. However, there is…

    Open AccessE M Luby, Edward Luby et al.ARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…2008

    INTRODUCTION\nThe Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) has fundamentally changed the relationship between museums and tribal peoples. Since 1990, thousands of human remains and funerary objects and hundreds of sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony have been repatriated to tribes. Human remains and funerary objects have been reburied, and sacred objects and objects of cultural patrimony have been returned to t…

  • Maintaining Relationships with Native Communities: The Role of Museum Management and Governance

    Elizabeth Scott, E M LubyARTICLEMuseum Management and Curatorship2007Cited by: 3References: 7

    This paper examines whether museums in the United States are making organizational adjustments to ensure that their relationships with Native communities are long-lived, healthy, and sustainable. The results of a survey of management practices and organizational structures in American museums concerning the status of long-term relationships with Native communities are presented. We find that while museums consider long-term relationships with Nat…

  • Shell Mounds and Mounded Landscapes in the San Francisco Bay Area: An Integrated Approach

    E M Luby, Clayton D Drescher et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Island and Coastal…2006Cited by: 13References: 10

    Current understanding of the shell mounds of the San Francisco Bay Area, now almost completely destroyed due to urban expansion, is summarized. After interpretations of how and why coastal hunter-gatherers created these sites are discussed, salient characteristics of shell mounds from the area are outlined. Because core questions concerning the meaning and function of these sites remain unresolved, a new project that integrates the results of re-…

  • Shell Mounds and Mortuary Behavior in the San Francisco Bay Area

    Open AccessE M LubyARTICLENorth American Archaeologist2004Cited by: 10References: 12

    The mortuary behavior of hunter-gatherers associated with a San Francisco Bay area shell mound is analyzed. Mortuary analyses in the region are reviewed and critiqued, highlighting the general difficulties associated with investigating the mortuary behavior of hunter-gatherers. Using the concept of inequality and its link to surplus, a mortuary analysis of an example of a shell mound in the area, CA-ALA-328, is then conducted. A formal cemetery l…

  • The Dead Must be Fed: Symbolic Meanings of the Shellmounds of the San Francisco Bay Area

    Open AccessE M Luby, Mark Gruber et al.ARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal1999Cited by: 11References: 18

    Long viewed as ‘kitchen middens’, the shellmounds of the San Francisco Bay Area have -provided archaeologists of coastal California insight into the subsistence and ecology of precontact native groups. In this article, the authors develop a framework for understanding the cultural significance of these shellmounds which regards them as intentional cultural features, incorporates social context, and builds on earlier subsistence-focused studies of…
