Description
People have long been fascinated about times in human history when different cultures and societies first came into conA-tact with each other, how they reacted to that contact, and why it sometimes ocA-curred peacefully and at other times was violent or catastrophic. Studies in Culture Contact: Interaction, Culture Change, and Archaeology, edited by James G. Cusick, seeks to define the role of culture contact in human history, to identify issues in the study of culture contact in archaeology, and to provide a critical overview of the major theoretical approaches to the study of culture and contact. Contributors consider three forms of culture contactâ?"colonization, cultural enA-tanglement, and symmetrical exchange. Part I provides a critical overview of theoA-retical approaches to the study of culture contact, while Part II contains eleven case studies of specific contact situations and their relationships to the archaeological record. Studies in Culture Contact proA-vides an extensive review of the history of culture contact in anthropological studA-ies and develops a broad framework for studying culture contactâ?Ts role, moving beyond a simple formulation of contact and change to a more complex underA-standing of the amalgam of change and continuity in contact situations.
