Trading posts have existed in the Navajo country since 1851. Their history has been a popular subject for both scholarly and popular books and articles. Yet recent archaeological work and the ethnohistorical research that has accompanied it are beginning to show heretofore unrecognized aspects of trading-post history. In contrast to the long-lived trading post operated by a full-time, non-Navajo owner or manager, most trading posts documented in these studies were short-lived and were operated on a small-scale part-time by livestock owners, both non-Navajo and Navajo. The ethnoar-chaeological research thus suggests that the trading-post system included many more posts of this kind than the historical record alone suggests; such stores are less likely than the bigger, longer-lived ones to have entered the historical record. The ethnoarchaeological studies also raise many tantalizing questions for future research
