Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Latinx Historical Archaeologies of the American Southwest

Abstract

While archaeological research that emphasizes Latinx experiences in American history is still far less predominant than archaeologies of other ethnic groups, such as Overseas Chinese or African-American archaeology, a strong foundation of research has been laid in the last 15 years. Scholars doing identity-centered research in Latinx historical archaeologies are laying groundwork for comparative and collaborative research, disrupting traditional historiographies, and improving the visibility of Latinx contributions to the American historical narrative.
