Negotiation, Landscape and Material Use: Agency Expression in Aurora, Nevada (2017)
Negotiation and agency are crucial topics of discussion in areas of colonial and cultural entanglement in relation to indigenous groups. Studies of negotiation often explore not only the changes, or lack thereof, in material culture use and expression in response to colonial intrusion and cultural entanglement, but how landscape use and material culture are related to negotiation and resistance techniques used in response to cultural contact or colonial intrusion. In these contexts, landscape...
Neither Contact nor Colonial: Seneca Iroquois Local Political Economies, 1675-1754 (2016)
Fine-grained attention to the material conditions of indigenous daily lives over time reveals myriad changes completely incapable of being explained by models such as "traditional sameness" or "acculturative change." Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) sites were occupied for only 15-40 years before planned abandonment, so examining a sequence of these sites provides an excellent way to look at change over time. This paper examines local dynamics at three Seneca sites, illustrating strategic Seneca...

From a universe of 2,065 records, 244 were selected using intuitive criteria that reflected an...
