Historical Archaeology of the American West
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
The American West has been defined in myriad ways, including geographically, environmentally, historically, and culturally. Whatever definition is used, however, it is clear that common trends and themes, such as culture contact, colonialism, labor, migration, and identity, are visible through historical archaeology studies. This symposium will include papers from across the American West and throughout the historic period in order to explore some of these themes and survey the current and future state of research.
