Críticas:

'[A] significant book . . . . [T]his work offers much of interest to interpreters of the American past.' (Marley Brownin, Museum News) 'This work admirably demonstrates the value of structural and symbolic analysis for the recovery of meaning. For that reason it is a valuable addition to [the] anthropological literature.' (Elizabeth J. Reitzin, Georgia Historical Quarterly) 'This collection . . . tackles connections between actor and object within the context of the historical archaeology of European expansion and development in North America.' (Leslie Stewart-Abernathyin, American Antiquity) '[A] landmark demonstration of the progress that has been made in interpretation. . . . [T]he book is itself a small gem of material culture.' (Ezra Zubrowin, Science)

Reseña del editor:

Originally published by Smithsonian Institution Press in 1988, this collection uses the historical archaeology of the eastern United States to explore social life, religion, and ideology. A new prologue by Mark Leone defines the elements of culture and identifies those parts of the concept that are important to historical archaeologists. Leone considers public displays of heritage and the role of archaeology in their creation.
