“…Studies of food riots and moral economies of food suggest that people experience anger, outrage, and other forms of emotional distress when they feel that social injustices produce food shortages or price hikes (e.g., Messer 2009;Orlove 1997;Scott 1977;Spielmann et al 2009). Recent research indicates that perceived inequity or injustice in water institutions may be a major driver of emotional distress.…”

“…Despite long-term research on the biocultural effects of European contact on indigenous communities in the Americas (Verano and Ubelaker, 1992;Larsen, 1994;Larsen and Milner, 1994;Baker and Kealhofer, 1996;Larsen et al, 2001;Klaus and Tam, 2009;Spielmann et al, 2009), evidence of the historical battles or skirmishes of the Spanish conquest of indigenous populations has proven elusive (Larsen, 1994). Only two cases of osteological evidence for violent conflict at or shortly after Spanish conquest are known from North America (Hutchinson, 1996;Larsen et al, 1996).…”

Conquest of indigenous peoples in North America is understood primarily through ethnohistorical documents, archaeological evidence, and osteological analyses. However, in the Central Andes, the colonial enterprise and its effects are understood only from postcontact historical and ethnohistorical sources. Few archaeological and bioarchaeological studies have investigated Spanish Conquest and colonialism in the Andean region [for exceptions see Klaus and Tam: Am J Phys Anthropol 138 (2009) 356-368; Wernke, in press; and Quilter, in press]. Here we describe bioarchaeological evidence of violence from the cemeteries of Huaquerones and 57AS03 within the archaeological zone of Puruchuco-Huaquerones, Peru (circa A.D. 1470-1540). A total of 258 individuals greater than 15 years of age were analyzed for evidence of traumatic injuries. Individuals were examined macroscopically and evidence of traumatic injuries was analyzed according to the skeletal element involved, the location of the injury on the skeletal element, and any additional complications of the injury. This study examines and compares the evidence of perimortem injuries on skeletonized individuals from the two cemeteries and focuses specifically on the interpretation of weapon-related perimortem injuries. Evidence of perimortem trauma is present in both cemeteries (18.6%, 48/258); however, the frequency of injuries in 57AS03 is greater than that in Huaquerones (25.0% vs. 13.0%). Several injuries from 57AS03 are consistent with documented cases of injuries from firearms and 16th Century European weapons. We believe that the nature and high frequency of perimortem trauma at 57AS03 provide evidence of the violence that occurred with Spanish Conquest of the Inca Empire.

“…Several other examples demonstrate instances of resilience, continuity, and the maintenance of cultural identities throughout the recent colonial period (Oland et al 2012;Preucel 2002;Reséndez 2005;Spielmann et al 2009;Schrieber and Mitchell 2010;see also Lightfoot 2005); my final example comes from architectural interpretations of structures on the Crow Reservation in eastern Montana. There, a powerful narrative associated with the young chief Plenty Coups' vision quest to Montana's Crazy Mountains in the 1850s helped shape and add meaning to the built environment created by and for Crow (Apsáalooke) people as they moved onto reservation land in south-central Montana in the early 1880s; in turn, this became an example of the ways in which the Crow coped with and survived the onslaught of regional environmental transformations brought about by ranching, extractive industries, and water control (Carter et al 2005, pp.…”

“…When the Spanish arrived and established the colony of New Mexico in 1598, they found a region already settled and subsequently documented Pueblo, Navajo, Apache, and Ute people and villages (Liebmann 2006;Preucel 2002;Spielmann et al 2009;Staski 2005;Wilcox 2009). Indian-Spanish interactions in colonial New Mexico during the 16th and 17th centuries were not without conflict.…”

Historical archaeology in western North America includes a vast collection of research that underscores the region's dynamic cultural heritage. Here, I review a sample of the literature related to this research and organize them into four conceptual themes: colonialism and postcolonialism, landscape transformation, migration and diaspora, and industrial capitalism. I conclude that the future of historical archaeology in the West will be grounded in research that integrates these themes. As the region continues to experience human dilemmas related to issues such as balancing resource extraction with sustainable conservation and lingering issues of colonialism, these archaeologies have value for transcending the natureculture divide and for understanding the ways in which humanity can navigate pressing issues relevant to our modern world, including vulnerability, risks, adaptation, resilience, and sustainability.
