Acknowledgements
This is not a second edition in any usual sense. This is a whole new book for a changed, maturing field. Historical Archaeologies of Capitalism came out in 1999 and was read quite a lot. It was the product of a seminar at the School of American Research in Santa Fe and came from the willingness of Douglas Schwartz, President of the School, to see historical archaeology think through a problem. Eliot Werner published the book through his series at Plenum. Parker Potter, Jr., and I edited the book for the series edited by Charles Orser. Our book attempted to illustrate how to use the twins of capitalism and Marxist approaches to understanding modern society and to vivify a new approach for historical archaeology, one that linked a commitment to working in and with communities to an economic and political analysis of how their needs and conditions came to be. The foil for the book was Leone’s dissatisfaction with the archaeologies of Stan South and Jim Deetz, of whose major founding initiatives linked neither the relatively recent past to the present, nor the self-evident needs of communities today to their recent origins. Parker Potter, Jr.
