   "Northern Mexico is part of the larger Southwest and an under-published area of archaeology/anthropology, generally referred to as borderlands. This volume focuses on the use of historical texts, oral histories, and ethnographic observation as data sources used in archaeological interpretation, in addition to material remains. The manuscript was organized along geographical lines-Puebloan World, Sierra Madre, and Sonoran Desert-to emphasize the differences between archaeologists in their use of data and interpretation of results. There are two principle themes in the volume: "how far back do identities persist; and who was connected to who?""--What are the connections between past and present peoples in the U.S. Southwest and Northwest Mexico? How were the ancient societies that occupied this landscape interconnected? Contributors leverage diverse source materials rooted in classic ethnography, oral tradition, and historical documents to offer novel answers to these questions. Running throughout the discussions is a metanarrative that reflects the tensions between disciplines such as anthropology and history and the rapidly evolving dynamic between scholars and the Indigenous subjects of past and present research. With chapters written by scholars from the U.S. and Mexico, including Indigenous coauthors, Borderlands Histories offers diverse perspectives and illustrates the range of methods and interpretive approaches employed by some of the most respected and experienced names in the field of borderlands archaeology today.
