| Summary |
"This book focuses on space and placemaking in the American West by historic communities and uses archaeological case studies for this evaluation. Archaeological narratives are often investigated and told through a specific cultural lens, and in the West, these are often a Euro-American lens. This project looks at historic sites from marginalized communities and attempts to investigate them without this preconceived dominant narrative. It points to the need to incorporate these narratives and recognize this is a different process for any community or culture in a specific geographical location"-- Provided by publisher |
