Review Quotes




A worthy accompaniment to recent collections on the postcolonial archaeology of Mesoamerica. . . . The works presented in Technology and Tradition are a testament to how attention to things and contexts undervalued can inform not only the questions specific to a given site, but what we understand about the materiality--and experience--of longer-term and larger-scale processes such as settler colonialism and racial capitalism.--Tiffany C. Cain, Historical Archaeology

The innovative archaeological histories of technology presented [in this volume] will position Mesoamerican historical archaeology as an emerging contributor to broader theoretical and methodological conversations in anthropology and archaeology, while speaking to themes in the archaeology of the contemporary past, industrial archaeology, archaeologies of capitalism and colonialism, and more.--Guido Pezzarossi, contributor to Archaeology of Culture Contact and Colonialism in Spanish and Portuguese America

The volume represents an important contribution to a more sophisticated understanding of technological change in the Americas. It is of interest across the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, art history, history, Latin American studies, and technology studies.--Deborah L. Nichols, Hispanic American Historical Review
