Race and Racism in Archaeologies of Chinese American Communities
This article provides a critical review of archaeological research that addresses race and racism in Chinese American communities. Future directions for Chinese diaspora archaeologies include employing an Asian American studies praxis that centers community-engaged research, using diasporic frameworks, and applying emic language to naming material culture and identities. Other innovative archaeological scholarship on the racialization of Chinese …

Archaeology Is Not Enough
Archaeology as Bearing Witness
Gênero, raça e trabalho na Arqueologia Colonial das Américas Espanholas
Gênero e raça são temas centrais das investigações arqueológicas do Império. Nessa pesquisa sobre a colonização espanhola das Américas, uma teoria proeminente, o padrão de Saint Augustine [the St. Augustine pattern], argumenta que a coabitação entre homens espanhóis e mulheres americanas ou africanas nos assentamentos coloniais resultou em uma forma distintivamente generificada de transformação: elementos culturais indíginas, africanos e sincréti…
The Archaeology of Ethnogenesis
This pioneering work of historical archaeology sheds light on the genesis of the Californios, a community of military settlers who forged a new identity on the northwest edge of Spanish North America. The revised edition includes a new preface from the author, looking at the development of ethnogenesis theory since the first edition of this book
Narratives of Colonialism, Grand and Not So Grand
What's New? Rethinking Ethnogenesis in the Archaeology of Colonialism
Many archaeological researchers studying colonialism are critiquing theories of cultural change (e.g., hybridity, creolization) in favor of interpretive models that emphasize cultural persistence and continuity. Ethnogenesis, the emergence of new cultural identities, has been put forward as a consensus model: what is 'new'-the 'genesis' in ethnogenesis-is increasingly interpreted as an authentic remaking of communal identities to foster persisten…
Sexual Effects
Introduction The Archaeology of Colonialism: Intimate Encounters and Sexual Effects seeks to forge a strong connection between two bodies of scholarship that have to date been only weakly linked. The first of these is the increasingly dynamic examination of the sexual politics of empire. With particular emphasis on the European empires of the past two centuries, feminist and postcolonial scholarship has richly demonstrated that sexuality is centr…
The Scale of The Intimate
Sexuality and intimacy are often conflated with the micro-scale realms of social life: the marriage bed, domesticity, the household, the family. Archaeologists studying sexuality and colonization have consequently focused directly on household deposits and personal identities. This study, like many others in this volume, rejects this simplistic equation between sexuality and the micro-scale. Rather, I understand sexuality and intimacy to be point…
Intimate Encounters
Although archaeological studies of the historic past have long explored the dynamics of European colonialism, broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction, and sensuality have only recently become acknowledged as essential components of the “imperial project.” How can we better appreciate the material implications of human sexuality when we come to interpret these complex colonial worlds? Ranging from anticipated and pleas…
The Archaeology of Colonialism
This volume examines human sexuality as an intrinsic element in the interpretation of complex colonial societies. While archaeological studies of the historic past have explored the dynamics of European colonialism, such work has largely ignored broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction and sensuality. Recently, however, scholars have begun to recognize these issues as essential components of colonization and imperialis…

Domesticating Imperialism
The archaeology of empire is permeated by sexual narratives. This has been especially true of archaeological research on the Spanish Americas, where the material remains of colonial settlements have often been interpreted as products of a literal and figurative marriage between two cultures. However, investigating colonization as a consensual domestic arrangement has masked the ways in which imperial projects relied on the exercise of power, incl…

Archaeologies of Sexuality
Status, age and gender have long been accepted aspects of archaeological enquiry, yet it is only recently that archaeologists have started seriously to consider the role of sex and sexuality in their studies.Archaeologies of Sexuality is a timely and pioneering work. It presents a strong, diverse body of scholarship which draws on locations as varied as medieval England, the ancient Maya kingdoms, New Kingdom Egypt, prehistoric Europe, and convic…
From Casta to Californio
In culture contact archaeology, studies of social identities generally focus on the colonized-colonizer dichotomy as the fundamental axis of identification. This emphasis can, however, mask social diversity within colonial or indigenous populations, and it also fails to account for the ways that the division between colonizer and colonized is constructed through the practices of colonization. Through the archaeology of material culture, foodways,…
Feminisms, queer theories, and the archaeological study of past sexualities
Archaeology faces the unique challenge of stretching social theories of sexuality in new chronological and methodological directions. This essay uses an analysis of citational practices to consider how feminist and queer theories articulate with archaeological investigations of sexuality. Both queer theories and feminist archaeological practices are shown to be powerful tools that can be used to expand archaeological interpretations of gender and…
