<p>Tales from the Oregon Territory (1848-1859)<br>AOA Occasional Paper #10<br>Editors: Chelsea Rose and Mark Tveskov,<br>Southern Oregon University Laboratory of Anthropology</p>
<p> This volume will focus on individuals, groups, and events<br>significant to Oregon’s transformation from a contested landscape to<br>fledgling statehood. We invite scholars to use this opportunity to present<br>
fine-grained empirical work into this dynamic and decisive decade through<br>the use of archaeological, historical, and ethnohistorical data. How did<br>various parties negotiate their identity and purpose in this frontier<br>
moment? How did material culture or the natural landscape fit into this<br>negotiation? How do these historical events resonate in the present day to<br>both scholars and a broader public? How does research into this decade fit<br>
into applied or community historical and archaeological efforts?<br>Contributions will cover a variety of aspects of this transformation,<br>including the fur trade, American settlement, agricultural and industrial<br>practice, the experience of Indigenous people, the Gold Rush, exploration<br>
and transportation, and warfare.<br>--<br>Chelsea E. Rose, MA, RPA<br>Southern Oregon University<br>Laboratory of Anthropology<br>1250 Siskiyou Blvd.<br>Ashland, OR 97520<br><a href="tel:%28541%29%20552-6764" target="_blank" value="+15415526764">(541) 552-6764</a></p>
