[Sarah Purdy]

Hello AOA members!

We are currently looking for submissions for an upcoming AOA Occasional
Paper, please see abstract below.  If you would like to participate, please
send an abstract to Chelsea or Mark before August 1, 2011. The volume will
be thematic, therefore participation may be limited due to the size and
scope of the publication.

Tales from the Oregon Territory (1848-1859)
AOA Occasional Paper #10
Editors: Chelsea Rose and Mark Tveskov,
Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology

               This volume will focus on individuals, groups, and events
significant to Oregon’s transformation from a contested landscape to
fledgling statehood.  We invite scholars to use this opportunity to present
fine-grained empirical work into this dynamic and decisive decade through
the use of archaeological, historical, and ethnohistorical data.  How did
various parties negotiate their identity and purpose in this frontier
moment? How did material culture or the natural landscape fit into this
negotiation? How do these historical events resonate in the present day to
both scholars and a broader public?  How does research into this decade fit
into applied or community historical and archaeological efforts?
Contributions will cover a variety of aspects of this transformation,
including the fur trade, American settlement, agricultural and industrial
practice, the experience of Indigenous people, the Gold Rush, exploration
and transportation, and warfare.
