The middens include low densities of pottery, chipped and ground stone tools, and some shell tools and ornaments, as well as molluscs, fish bones, crab claws, sea turtle bones, terrestrial animal bones, and charred plant remains. Radiocarbon dates indicate nearly continuous use of the coast from as early as 4,000 BC through late historic times. Pottery types found are associated with the Patayan, Hohokam, Trincheras, and the Ancestral Comcaac cultures. These middens were created by peoples occupying the western Papaguería who interacted extensively with neighboring groups in California, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico. The Areneños (Sand Papago or Hia ced O’odham) occupied the area in historical times and their subsistence, settlement, and interaction patterns can be used as a model for prehistoric groups.","PeriodicalId":42699,"journal":{"name":"California Archaeology","volume":"12 1","pages":"163 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1947461X.2020.1818938","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44411606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The logical organization of this volume helps build the arguments regarding the evidence and larger context for metal production at Paa-ko during the early colonial era in New Mexico. The topic of metallurgy at Paa-ko is an important one with wide implications for other parts of the Pueblo world and neighboring arid regions such as southern California. Thomas’s book is well argued, well supported, and offers insight into a topic that is not well understood. I highly recommend this volume to people interested in the technology of metallurgy, indigenous-colonial interaction in the hinterlands of empires, and indigenous social practice in colonial contexts.","PeriodicalId":42699,"journal":{"name":"California Archaeology","volume":"12 1","pages":"134 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1947461X.2020.1734393","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48022292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During his 21–year tenure at CSUN, Mark made an enormous impact on archaeological research in Alta and Baja California that earned him the SCA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. His friends,colleagues, and former students remember him for his dedication, contributions to California archaeology, and his sense of humor. Born in Escondido, California, he earned his B.A. from CSU Fullerton in 1968. He then left California to pursue an M.A. in Anthropology at Vanderbilt University (1970), and a Ph.D. in Anthropology/Archaeology at Arizona State University (1976). His dissertation research focused on prehistoric community organization in the Santa Rosa Wash, an areaof the Papagueria in southern Arizona.","PeriodicalId":42699,"journal":{"name":"California Archaeology","volume":"12 1","pages":"153 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1947461X.2020.1746071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42847304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The final chapter, by James Brooks, offers a comparative look between Alta California and New Mexico. The regions share notable similarities of Spanish colonialism, missionization, labor regimentation, resistance, and community formations linked to place, kinship, and material culture. They also differ notably in indigenous cultural organization, physiography, and the time depth of Spanish colonial incursions. Brooks, in his characteristically thoughtful fashion, lays out observations that bring the book to a worthwhile end. I recommend this book for anyone researching archaeology, anthropology, and Native American and colonial history in Western North America (and beyond) for the adept ways it handles complex questions about community formation, identity, networks, and dissolution. The emphasis on “belonging” brings tightness to the analyses, while also generating some questions about how belonging is constructed and variably experienced. Hull and Douglass have done a masterful job of compiling a wonderful set of chapters and pairing them in a careful arc through timely intellectual and historical terrain.","PeriodicalId":42699,"journal":{"name":"California Archaeology","volume":"12 1","pages":"127 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1947461X.2020.1724371","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45463816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
