Finding Archaeological Relevance during a Pandemic and What Comes After
This article emerged as the human species collectively have been experiencing the worst global pandemic in a century. With a long view of the ecological, economic, social, and political factors that promote the emergence and spread of infectious disease, archaeologists are well positioned to examine the antecedents of the present crisis. In this article, we bring together a variety of perspectives on the issues surrounding the emergence, spread, …

Response to Shackley and Moore
Shackley and Moore's Comment misrepresents the focus of my 2017 article, which is not “regional” in nature but rather attempts a focused study of one community's relationship with the Valles Caldera; furthermore, the vast majority of the data they present do not correspond temporally with my study
The Pueblo World Transformed
of this volume, have told me that the Columbian Consequences project served as a catalyst for the initial symposium entitled "Transformations during the Colonial Era: Divergent Histories in the American Southwest," subsequently published as this volume.They also asked me to write a few words about the Columbian Consequences effort, from a quarter-century perspective.The roots of Columbian Consequences run back to the late 1980s, a time of conside…
From Landscapes of Meaning to Landscapes of Signification in the American Southwest
This article builds upon two convergent trends in landscape archaeology: (1) investigations of symbolic meaning and (2) collaboration with descendant and stakeholder communities. The recent merger of these research agendas in the Southwest US provides an innovative approach to addressing meaning in the past. But the interpretations that result can inadvertently propagate notions of static and unchanging indigenous landscapes. Archaeologists can d…
"The Mickey Mouse kachina and other "Double Objects
Hybridity is a term used by anthropologists to characterize the amalgamation of influences from two (or more) different cultural groups. Hybridity has captivated archaeology in recent years, especially archaeologists investigating colonialism in Native American contexts. At the same time, a growing chorus of critics has begun to question anthropology's devotion to hybridity and hybrid objects. These critics take issue with the term's alleged Euro…
Is Poverty in Our Genes
We present a critique of a paper written by two economists, Quamrul Ashraf and Oded Galor, which is forthcoming in the American Economic Review and which was uncritically highlighted in Science magazine. Their paper claims there is a causal effect of genetic diversity on economic success, positing that too much or too little genetic diversity constrains development. In particular, they argue that "the high degree of diversity among African popula…

Archaeology and the Postcolonial Critique
In recent years, postcolonial theories have emerged as one of the significant paradigms of contemporary academia, affecting disciplines throughout the humanities and social sciences. These theories address the complex processes if colonialism on culture and society—with repect to both the colonizers and the colonized—to help us understand the colonial experience in its entirety. The contributors to Archaeology and the Postcolonial Critique presen…
The Innovative Materiality of Revitalization Movements
Although Wallace's revitalization movement model has been successfully utilized in scores of ethnographic and ethnohistorical studies of societies throughout the world, revitalization is considerably less well documented in archaeological contexts. An examination of the materiality of revitalization movements affords an opportunity to redress this lack by investigating how material culture creates and constrains revitalization phenomena. In this …
The Archaeology of the Pueblo Revolt and the Formation of the Modern Pueblo World
The Pueblo Revolt and its aftermath (A.D. 1680-1696) was a crucial period in the history of the American Southwest. Previous studies of this era have focused primarily on the causes of the revolt, often casting it as an isolated and anomalous event. This article takes a different approach, investigating the effects of the revolt era on Pueblo cultures and communities in the years, decades, and centuries that followed the uprising of 1680. Recent …
The Archaeology of Colonial Encounters
Pueblo Settlement, Architecture, and Social Change in the Pueblo Revolt Era, A.D. 1680 to 1696
In A.D. 1680, the Pueblo Indians of the American Southwest united in a revolt that drove Spanish colonists out of Pueblo lands for more than a decade. Dramatic changes in the architecture, spatial organization, and settlement patterns of Pueblo villages occurred during this era as Pueblo leaders sought to revive traditional beliefs and practices. Semiotic and space syntax analyses of 10 Pueblo Revolt-era (1680–1696) villages reveal evidence for a…

Reply to Schlesier
Schlesier :S commentary (2002) draws attention to the meanings of the Big Horn Medicine Wheel for the Cheyenne people. While these meanings are important and compelling, there exists strong evidence to suggest similarities in form shared by the Big Horn Medicine Wheel and traditional ceremonial ("Sun Dance") lodges used by other Plains groups in early historic times as well. Though this does not directly address the origins of the Big Horn Medici…
Demystifying the Big Horn Medicine Wheel
The Big Horn Medicine Wheel in northern Tfj;oming has been the subject of anthropological curiosity for more than a century. Yet despite this long history of investigation, relatively little is known about the uses and meanings embedded in this stone configuration in the past. Previous studies have tended to focus exclusively on the original purpose and function of this structure, resulting in essentializing and unsatisfactory hypotheses regardin…
