The Santa Barbara Channel region of southern California lacks reliable sources of high quality toolstone except in a few prominent locations.

Cultural Icons: Understanding Social Identity through Iconography in the Contact Era Pueblo World (2018)

Cultural Identity and Materiality at French Fort St. Joseph (20BE23), Niles, Michigan (2018)

The result was an exchange, amalgamation, and reinterpretation of material goods that testify to the close relationships the French maintained with various Native American groups.

Cultural Landscapes in Exodus: The Natchez Fort in Central Louisiana (2018)
This paper considers the Natchez, who in the mid-1700s, were disconnected from their traditional homeland in Western Mississippi. The Natchez shielded their community from the French in an ancestral landscape that is critical to understanding the processes of change and creation of place and cultural landscapes at the Natchez Fort site. The location of the fort in a well defended region was key for seclusion and military defense. But this tactical decision to entrench themselves on the bluffs...

The Cultural Pluralism of Indigenous and African American Households in Colonial New England (2018)
During the 18th and early 19th centuries many Native American women formed households with freed African Americans.
