Publisher's Synopsis
An updated review of post-contact archaeology in the Upper Great Lakes region was long overdue. In this comprehensive reassessment of recent and ongoing developments in the field, Post-Contact Archaeology of Michigan and the Upper Great Lakes Region examines the breadth and diversity of the area's archaeological sites, highlighting the discoveries that are reshaping our understanding of post-contact archaeology. Gathering case studies that range from terrestrial and underwater cultural sites, to the period of the earliest European settlement to the present day, this volume spotlights how deeply interconnected excavation of the past, and current social justice initiatives are.
