Through the work of more than 30 archaeological teams, readers learn about the rich diversity of historical archaeology, exploring the who, what, where, when, how, and why of the discipline. Written for a popular audience and for practitioners of historical archaeology, the tales in Unlocking the Past are organized into five themes. ''Cultures in Contact'' unravels the contributions of architecture, landscape, food, dining, burial practices, and other factors to our understanding of everyday life in the past. ''Challenging and Changing Environments'' highlights the techniques, resources, and questions that historical archaeologists use to understand the roots of ways of thinking about and acting on the land.

''Cultures in Conflict'' introduces the archaeology of colonial wars, the U.S. Civil War, the epic Battle of Little Bighorn, and World War II.…
