Description
"Beginning in the 1930s, generations of Central Plains archaeologists excavated portions of this well-known but poorly understood Pawnee fur-trade settlement. The present compilation analyzes and builds upon these earlier unpublished investigations to present the most comprehensive study to date of a colonial-era Pawnee settlement. The volume exemplifies how the collaboration of archaeologists, Native scholars, and historians can reconstruct Indigenous agency amid the turbulence of the colonial encounter."--Stephen M. Perkins, associate professor of anthropology, Oklahoma State University
