Item Restricted All the king's horses: essays on the impact of looting and the illicit antiquities trade on our knowledge of the past(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2012) Lasrus, Paula K., editor; Barker, Alex W., editor; The SAA Press, publisherItem Restricted Archaeological narratives of the North American Great Plains: from ancient pasts to historic resettlement(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2021) Trabert, Sarah J., author; Hollenback, Kacy L., author; The SAA Press, publisherStretching from Canada to Texas and the foothills of the Rockies to the Mississippi River, the North American Great Plains have a complex and ancient history. The region has been home to Native peoples for at least 16,000 years. This volume is a synthesis of what is known about the Great Plains from an archaeological perspective, but it also highlights Indigenous knowledge, viewpoints, and concerns for a more holistic understanding of both ancient and more recent pasts. Written for readers unfamiliar with archaeology in the region, the book emphasizes connections between past peoples and contemporary Indigenous nations, highlighting not only the history of the area but also new theoretical understandings that move beyond culture history. This overview illustrates the importance of the Plains in studies of exchange, migration, conflict, and sacred landscapes, as well as contact and colonialism in North America. In addition, the volume includes considerations of federal policies and legislation, as well as Indigenous social movements and protests over the last hundred years so that archaeologists can better situate Indigenous heritage, contemporary Indigenous concerns, and lasting legacies of colonialism today.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted California's ancient past: from the Pacific to the range of light(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2022) Pailes, Matthew C., author; Searcy, Michael T., author; The SAA Press, publisherThis approachable book is a comprehensive synthesis of Northwest Mexico from the US border to the Mesoamerican frontier. Filling a vital gap in the regional literature, it serves as an essential reference not only for those interested in the specific history of this area of Mexico but western North America writ large. A period-by-period review of approximately 14,000 years reveals the dynamic connections that knitted together societies inhabiting the Sea of Cortez coast, the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts, and the Sierra Madre Occidental. Networks of interaction spanned these diverse ecological, topographical, and cultural terrains in the millennia following the demise of the megafauna. The authors provide a fresh perspective that refutes depictions of the Northwest as a simple filter or conduit of happenings to the north or south, and they highlight the role local motivations and dynamics played in facilitating continental-scale processes.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Northwest coast: archaeology as deep history(Colorado State University.

Libraries, 2019) Childs, S. Terry, editor; Warner, Mark S., editor; The SAA Press, publisherAll archaeologists have responsibilities to support the collections they produce, yet budgeting for and managing collections over the length of a project and beyond is not part of most archaeologists' training. While this book highlights major challenges that archaeologists and curators face with regards to collections, it also stresses the values, uses, and benefits of collections. It also demonstrates the continued significance of archaeological collections to the profession, tribes, and the public and provides critical resources to aid archaeologists in carrying out their responsibilities. Many lament that the archaeological record is finite and disappearing. In this context, collections are even more important to preserve for future use, and this book will help all stakeholders do so.--Provided by publisher.Item Restricted Voices in American archaeology(Colorado State University.
