Contemporary Issues in California Archaeology 

Terry Jones and Jennifer E. Perry, editors


March 2012, 396 pages

            

Recent archaeological research on California includes a greater diversity of
models and approaches to the region's past, as older literature on the
subject struggles to stay relevant. This comprehensive volume offers an
in-depth look at the most recent theoretical and empirical developments in
the field including key controversies relevant to the Golden State: coastal
colonization, impacts of comets and drought cycles, systems of power,
Polynesian contacts, and the role of indigenous peoples in the research
process, among others. With a specific emphasis on those aspects of
California's past that resonate with the state's modern cultural identity,
the editors and contributors-all leading figures in California
archaeology-seek a new understanding of the myth and mystique of the Golden
State.
