> The Guide to American Artifacts Series will present comprehensive
> guides to classes of historical artifacts commonly found in
> excavations, archives, museums, and private collections in North
> America. Volumes in the series, to be published by Left Coast Press,
> Inc., will be amply illustrated to aid in identifying and interpreting
> the technical, temporal, and diagnostic significance of objects
> described. These books are designed with archaeologists, material
> culture specialists, museum professionals, historians, decorative arts

> The editors encourage studies that, in addition to  facilitating the
> identification and analysis of classes of artifacts, explore the
> interconnections between objects and social identity. The series will
> serve to collate disparate and often obscure specialist literatures and
> will provide an arena for contributors to explore the role of
> individual objects or assemblages in social action within communities.
> The Guides to American Artifacts Series will be accompanied by a second
> series, Identifying American Artifacts, a set of compact identification
> and research guides on more narrowly-focused types of American material
> culture.

> Series Co-Editor Carolyn L. White teaches at William Paterson
> University and works for the Cultural Resource Consulting Group. She is
> particularly interested in marginal artifact types and the use of
> material culture to understand identity construction. Co-Editor Timothy
> James Scarlett is Assistant Professor of Historical Archaeology in

> program. His research interests focus on material culture's role in the
> interplay of systems of cognition, belief, and economy.
