Indian and European Contact in Context cover

Between the 16th and 19th centuries as indigenous Native Americans, colonizing Europeans, and Africans came into sustained contact in North America, their cultures underwent a variety of complex transformations. While other scholarly books that examine ""cultural contact"" have traditionally viewed the issue through a single lens, this collection offers a strikingly different picture by collecting a variety of archaeological and ethnohistorical perspectives to formulate an interdisciplinary investigation.

"A strong and diverse volume which offers new perspectives on the early contact period (A.D. 1500-1750) in the Mid-Atlantic.... The strength of the essays is the commitment to integrating the archaeological data with the well-known ethnohistoric and historic sources of the region." - Jeffrey L. Hantman, University of Virginia"
