Drawing on archaeological evidence from the colonial period to the modern era and covering sites from New England to California, \u003ci\u003eThe Archaeology of American Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comparative treatment in historical archaeology to comprehensively illustrate the development and evolution of capitalism in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessible to even the beginning student and organized chronologically, this volume focuses on the material construction of individuals as commodities, the orientation of social life to the market, and grassroots resistance to capitalist culture. Perhaps most intriguing, Matthews identifies the discipline of archaeology as an artifact of capitalism and offers a thoughtful investigation into the ways in which the transformative effects of capitalism determine not only much of the archaeological record, but the pursuit of archaeology itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher N.
