Archaeologies of Placemaking

Explore the profound insights in Archaeologies of Placemaking, a compelling collection of essays edited by the World Archaeological Congress. Published by Left Coast Press Inc in 2008, this hardback volume spans 256 pages and delves into the intricate relationship between historic preservation, cultural memory, and the identity of Native American communities in the United States.
