"Cultural contacts between different societies have occurred throughout
human history and prehistory. This book is interested in the evidence for
culture contact between aboriginal Europeans and indigenous groups living
outside of Europe...This book intends to contribute to an interdisciplinary
topic from an archaeological and historical anthropological perspective."
- From the Preface by Alistair Paterson

Alistair Paterson has written a comprehensive textbook detailing the
millennium of cultural contact between European societies and those of the
rest of the world. Beginning with the Norse intersection with indigenous
peoples of Greenland, Paterson uses case studies and regional overviews to
describe the various patterns by which European groups influenced, overcame,
and were resisted by the populations of Africa, the Americas, East Asia,
Oceania, and Australia. Based largely on the evidence of archaeology, he is
able to detail the unique interactions at many specific points of contact
and display the wide variations in exploration, conquest, colonization,
avoidance, and resistance at various spots around the globe. Paterson's
broad, student-friendly treatment of the history and archaeology of the last
millennium will be useful for courses in historical archaeology, world
history, and social change.
