resent very real disagreements among lithic analysts (see, for example, the extended explication of the weaknesses of the typological approach to flake analysis), but nonetheless provide a comprehensive overview of the salient issues and variables. Similarly, Shott contextualizes the study of the Modena and Tempiute quarries with extended comparisons to sites across the Great Basin, California, other regions of North America, and often other continents. Taken together, the net effect is like having an entire graduate-level lithics seminar between two covers. For that reason alone, this book is worth having on one’s shelf.

ABSTRACT In a recent issue of California Archaeology, Jim Cassidy (2021. “A Technological Assessment of the North Pacific Seafaring Hypothesis: Informed by California Channel Island Research.” California Archaeology 13 (1): 69–92). provided a flawed assessment of the potential role boats and seafaring played in the initial peopling of the Americas, as well as the nature of watercraft used to settle Santarosae and California’s other Channel Islands. His arguments contain numerous errors and inconsistencies and are based primarily on his previously published interpretation of lithic tools from the Early Holocene component at the Eel Point site on San Clemente Island. Here, we point out the most obvious errors and weaknesses in Cassidy’s arguments and present a more realistic view of what we know and do not know about early seafaring and maritime technology in North America and southern California.

ABSTRACT Archaeological studies conducted in the north of Baja California document a series of peculiar settlements in Yuman territory, as in the case of site MRA 21, given their relative inaccessibility where human life under current climatic conditions is unsustainable. Radiocarbon dating and evidence from the colonial period when invasion of the Yuman territory began (A.D. 1769) show that indeed there was subjugation of indigenous people, but also demonstrate a tenacious resistance from Yumans who took the most marginal areas of the northeast of the peninsula as an impregnable refuge. Was it their will alone that allowed these Yumans to survive the mission period and the colonialization? Or could “geographic isolation” and environmental factors have led to this resistance being successful to a large extent? This issue is analyzed here, arriving at a new vision of how they probably achieved it.

research exploring broader landscapes, persistent places, and Indigenous people’s resilient traditions” (p. 17). This long-standing paradigm has been reinforced by the narrow time span of most research (initial Spanish colonization), the application of archaeological periodization and associated field and laboratory methods that leaves little theoretical room for researching perspectives and approaches that trace Native persistence and the ways in which these communities were able to do so. The author further stresses that this paradigm has harmed Native people, and that one must “decolonize archaeological discourse, specifically to decenter conventional perspectives on space and time without unconsciously adopting the grammar of colonialism” (p. 10). Moving forward, it is necessary to focus on Native agency, recenter research on the Indigenous hinterland and Native places, recognize the limits of colonial power, and reject narratives of cultural loss or change-as-loss. This powerful, thought-provoking study is a marvelous addition to the University of Arizona Press’s influential Archaeology of Indigenous-Colonial Interactions in the Americas book series. It is also a wakeup call to all researchers in California (including myself) and elsewhere as it explicitly challenges our paradigmatic biases, the way we frame and construct narratives about the past (especially from the sixteenth century onward), our research perspectives, the questions we can be asking about the past, long-held ways of doing fieldwork and analysis of the archaeological record, and how we ultimately organize, present, and interpret our research results. The significant perspective and insights provided in this book are also applicable in any colonial setting, and I have been personally inspired – as a citizen of the Shawnee Tribe – to begin applying the insights offered here to better understand facets of our long colonial history in the eastern U.S.
