Book excerpt: Archaeologists are hindered by the self-imposed boundary between historic and prehistoric archaeology, and assumptions about different rates and kinds of cultural continuity and change before and after the arrival of Europeans. The central objective of this edited volume is to call critical attention to two particular intra-disciplinary boundaries, and their dampening effect on fruitful cross-cultural and cross-temporal comparison. Contributors collectively challenge archaeologists' self-imposed theoretical frontiers between European/non-European and prehistoric/historic case studies of colonialism.
