U-M archaeology alum Christina Perry Sampson—now instructor of anthropology at Everett Community College in Everett, Washington—has published an edited volume on complex fisher-hunter-gatherer communities of North America with the University Press of Florida.
According to the press release, Fisher-Hunter-Gatherer Complexity in North America explores the forms and trajectories of social complexity among fisher-hunter-gatherers who lived in coastal, estuarine, and riverine settings in pre-Columbian North America. The volume draws on archaeological research from the North Pacific and Alaska, the Pacific Northwest coast and interior, the California Channel Islands, and the Southeastern U.S. and Florida.
"Challenges older narratives about trajectories of social development in fisher-hunter-gatherer societies. Not only a major contribution to fisher-hunter-gatherer archaeology, but also to the archaeology of ‘complexity,’ and of islands and coasts," writes Thomas P. Leppard, coeditor of Regional Approaches to Society and Complexity.
