“…Of importance, this view of consumption also intersects theoretical debate regarding the entangled nature of continuity and change in colonial settings by demonstrating how many of the apparent changes of the colonial period were internally structured, rather than externally imposed (Ferris 2009;Jordan 2013;Panich 2013;Silliman 2009). There is no doubt that native people actively incorporated new materials into their practices, but the context of use often points toward long-term processes in which existing traditions were reinterpreted to fit new, colonial circum-stances (Rubertone 2000).…”

This article uses a consumption framework to examine Native American use of shell and glass beads at the site of Mission Santa Clara de Asís in central California. The analysis considers how indigenous people acquired beads within the mission system as well as the ways in which they integrated diverse types of beads into existing and emergent cultural traditions. Regional archaeological evidence reveals multiple sources of shell beads while the mission's account book offers detailed information regarding the purchase of glass beads by Franciscan missionaries. At Santa Clara, archaeological assemblages from various temporal and spatial contexts demonstrate that native people continued to use shell beads throughout the mission period but also incorporated glass beads into local understandings of status and mourning. Within these general patterns of bead use, the evidence suggests a local preference for white glass beads as well as variation in the use of or access to shell beads across the mission community. These data underscore the localized ways indigenous people made sense of new and familiar items within the constraints of colonialism.

In addition, the revised chronology has relevance for how developments in Iroquoia may be associated with climate: the transformative coalescent and postcoalescent Phases [( 3 , 14 ); see the Supplementary Materials] now occur across the peak of the Little Ice Age (LIA) from the mid-1500s to the early 1600s and not across the previous century or so.…”

“…Archaeologists are thus poised to move beyond decades-old questions about continuity and change to consider indigenous agency and autonomy in the colonial period. As used here, autonomy refers to freedom of action within situational constraints (Jordan, 2013;Schwartz and Green, 2013). When applied to the archaeology of colonialism, an examination of autonomy de-centers static, trait-based approaches to native cultures and the concomitant scholarly focus on externally-imposed change.…”

a b s t r a c tRather than simply an arena for Euroamerican domination, recent archaeological research on Spanish missionization along the North American Borderlands points to opportunities for indigenous autonomy under missionary colonialism. We build from these discussions to foreground autonomy as it was expressed in multiple spatial contexts during the colonial period (ca. 1770s-1850s) in central California.Our goals are to evaluate freedom of action within the situational constraints imposed by Spanish missions in California and also to challenge archaeologists to move beyond prevailing narratives of decline to critically assess how native people negotiated colonialism across the landscape. Drawing on three archaeological examples from central California-including Mission Santa Clara de Asís, the marshlands of the San Joaquin Valley, and persistent Coast Miwok villages in the northern San Francisco Bay region-we outline a conceptual model comprised of three spatial zones: colonial settlements as native places; native homelands/colonial hinterlands; and interior worlds and interspaces. The model offers a way in which to expand mission archaeology by illuminating the opportunities for indigenous autonomy in social, political, and economic relationships that intersected colonial modes in various ways across time and space.
