Table of Contents

“Breaks new ground regarding how to think about colonial encounters in innovative ways that pay attention to a wide range of issues from health and demography to identity formations and adaptation.”—Debra L. Martin, coeditor of The Bioarchaeology of Violence
“Amply demonstrates the breadth and variability of the impact of colonialism.”—Ken Nystrom, State University of New York at New Paltz

“Pushes the boundaries of colonial studies. . . . Scholars of all levels, from undergraduates to advanced professionals, should consult this volume in pursuit of excellent examples of biocultural and theory-driven explorations of bioarchaeology.”—Antiquity
“Provides a nuanced, empirical examination of the effects of colonialism on the bodies of the colonized . . . and builds on and adds diversity to earlier studies that focused on contact between Europeans and Indigenous Americans.”—Choice
“Illustrate[s] the historical depth of situations in which people encountered, resisted, adapted to, and changed each other.”—Journal of Anthropological Research
“An excellent and diverse range of studies that provide a fine representation of the current state of affairs and a solid foundation for future research.”—Cambridge Archaeological Journal
“A diverse, well written collection of essays that use multiple lines of evidence to explore contact and colonialism from regions around the globe. . . . Does an excellent job of highlighting wide-ranging research and its large scale comparative possibilities.”—Southeastern Archaeology
“With clear, concise writing and a strong grasp of the material, the editors integrate a call for contextual work with the benefits of applying contemporary theoretical thought. . . . Contribute[s] not only to our understanding of these significant cultural shifts, but do[es] so by integrating bioarchaeology, or skeletal approaches, with different data sets from archaeology, history, and demography.”—American Journal of Human Biology
