The Society for Historical Archaeology has launched a new reader
series, entitled Perspectives from Historical Archaeology, through a
Print on Demand (POD) Press. The series co-editors are J. W. Joseph,
the SHA's Journal Editor and Annalies Corbin, SHA Co-Publications
Editor. The series will develop and present readers drawn from
articles published in Historical Archaeology and organized by
subject, region, or time period. Each volume will be prepared by a
compiler who will include an Introduction on the reader subject
material.
The first volume in this series, African Diaspora Archaeology,
compiled by Christopher Fennell, is now available. The Fennell
volume includes 24 articles and traces cultures and sites from Africa
through the Caribbean and Central and South America and into both the
northern and southern regions of North America. The volume contains
regional overviews, topical reviews, site studies, material culture
analyses, and theoretical perspectives from African Diaspora
archaeology. The volume offers scholars in related disciplines a
convenient source for archaeological work on the Diaspora; an
excellent resource for students interested in African American
archaeology; an affordable and comprehensive source for course
adoption; and a convenient reference for archaeologists with an
interest in the subject. African Diaspora Archaeology is available at
a cost of $25 for the 413 page perfect bound book, or as a
downloadable PDF for $10. Copies can be ordered at http://
