{"product_id":"9780815653349","title":"Corey Village and the Cayuga World: Implications from Archaeology and Beyond","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cayuga are one of the original five nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy,\u003cbr\u003ea powerful alliance of Native American tribes in the Northeast, inhabiting\u003cbr\u003emuch of the land in what is now central New York State. When their\u003cbr\u003enation was destroyed in the Sullivan–Clinton campaign of 1779, the Cayuga\u003cbr\u003eendured 200 years of displacement. As a result, relatively little is known about\u003cbr\u003ethe location, organization, or ambience of their ancestral villages. Perched on\u003cbr\u003ea triangular finger of land against steep cliffs, the sixteenth-century village of\u003cbr\u003eCorey represents a rare source of knowledge about the Cayuga past, transforming\u003cbr\u003eour understanding of how this nation lived.\u003cbr\u003e In Corey Village and the Cayuga World, Rossen collects data from archaeological\u003cbr\u003einvestigations of the Corey site, including artifacts that are often\u003cbr\u003eneglected, such as nonprojectile lithics and ground stone. In contrast with the\u003cbr\u003econventional narrative of a population in constant warfare, analysis of the site’s\u003cbr\u003estructure and materials suggests a peaceful landscape, including undefended\u003cbr\u003esettlements, free movement of people, and systematic trade and circulation of\u003cbr\u003egoods. These findings lead to a broad summary of Cayuga archaeological research,\u003cbr\u003eshedding new light on the age of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and\u003cbr\u003ethe role of the Cayuga in the American Revolution. Beyond the comprehensive\u003cbr\u003eanalysis of artifacts, the Corey site excavation is significant for its commitment\u003cbr\u003eto the practice of \"indigenous archaeology,\" in which Native wisdom, oral history,\u003cbr\u003ecollaboration, and participation are integral to the research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107493888240,"sku":"9780815653349","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780815653349_p0.jpg?v=1763746250","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780815653349","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
