This book explores the intersections of mapping and historical archaeology and the ways in which mapping can generate new archaeological data and contribute to methodological and theoretical problems in historical archaeology. The chapters engage with diverse material remainsfrom travel writing to newspaper reports and colonial records to maps themselvesand also contemporary medical supplies, the architectural ruins along the Silk Road, nineteenth-century foundations in a company town, brick rubble, contemporary city landscapes, and ceramics. There are four key themes explored in the book: the interplay between invisibility and visibility; the visualization of embodied experiences; the use of maps to elucidate and problematize power and resistance, and the emancipatory potentials of mapping within the context of heritage practices and community collaboration. This book is of interest to students and researchers in historical archaeology and anthropology.

Alanna Warner-Smith is a Peter Buck Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. As a historical bioarchaeologist, she draws upon skeletal, archival, and material traces to understand lived experiences in the past. Broadly, her research examines how macroscalar processes and phenomenasuch as inequality, immigration, capitalism, urbanization, and industrializationare experienced and embodied on the ground. She has contributed to research on the Spring Street Presbyterian Church in New York City, New York, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah. She has also followed the path of a cholera epidemic that moved through the Caribbean in the 1850s. Her current research explores the intersections of health, labor, and citizenship through the embodied experiences of Irish immigrants living and dying in New York City in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This work includes attention to the "postmortem lives" of immigrants, as she studies the collection, curation, and research of the remains of immigrants in the history of biological anthropology. Sarah E. Platt is an anthropologically informed historical archaeologist and an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the College of Charleston. Her area of study is the urban South, focusing on the archaeology of downtown Charleston, South Carolina using predominantly collections-based methodologies. Broadly, she is interested in how memory and Lost Cause perceptions of the Southern past impact the "archaeological archive" and the collections repository. In the face of the ongoing collections crisis in archaeology, where the production of collections outstrips the resources available to store and care for them, she is also invested in creative uses of pre-existing legacy collections and applying new research questions to old sites.
