DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Archeology at the Fort Laramie Quartermaster Dump Area, 1994-1996 Archeological investigations were conducted at Fort Laramie National Historic Site, Goshen County, Wyoming, in 1994 and 1996 along a portion of the north bank of the Laramie River, just below the main fort area. This portion of the riverbank has been long known, perhaps erroneously, as the Quartermaster Depot Dump. Investiga tions were initiated to mitigate the effect of stream bank erosion on archeological re sources along the Laramie River in this area of the park. The 1994 investigations were the latest in a long series of Fort Laramie archeological investigations that began in 1939, shortly after the property was acquired by the National Park Service. The dump episodes along the riverbank examined dur ing the present study came from several localities throughout the fort. There was also no known record of when these dump epi sodes occurred.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Stretching from Canada to Texas and the foothills of the Rockies to the Mississippi River, the North American Great Plains have a complex and ancient history. The region has been home to Native peoples for at least 16,000 years. This volume is a synthesis of what is known about the Great Plains from an archaeological perspective, but it also highlights Indigenous knowledge, viewpoints, and concerns for a more holistic understanding of both ancient and more recent pasts. Written for readers unfamiliar with archaeology in the region, the book in the SAA Press Current Perspectives Series emphasizes connections between past peoples and contemporary Indigenous nations, highlighting not only the history of the area but also new theoretical understandings that move beyond culture history. This overview illustrates the importance of the Plains in studies of exchange, migration, conflict, and sacred landscapes, as well as contact and colonialism in North America. In addition, the volume includes considerations of federal policies and legislation, as well as Indigenous social movements and protests over the last hundred years so that archaeologists can better situate Indigenous heritage, contemporary Indigenous concerns, and lasting legacies of colonialism today.
