Excerpt from The American Anthropologist, Vol. 6: Published Under the Auspices of the Anthropological Society of Washington In early historic times the tide-water country was inhabited by numerous tribes Of Indians, mainly of Algonquian stock, subject to the renowned Powhatan. A few other nations were located about the headwaters Of Chesapeake bay, and others appeared at times along the western and southern borders. The period covered by this occupation practically closed before the middle of the last century. Its beginning is not determined, but cannot extend very many centuries back into the past. Of antecedent or prehistoric peoples, if such there were, we have no information, for the art remains are simple and homogeneous, giving no hint of the occupa tion Of this region by other than the historic tribes. The region is nearly identical with that explored by that intrepid and illustrious adventurer and colonist, John Smith, whose accounts Of the natives are among our most valuable contributions to the aboriginal history of the Atlantic States.

Excerpt from The American Anthropologist, Vol. 6: Published Under the Auspices of the Anthropological Society of Washington The tide-water portions of Maryland and Virginia have an area nearly equal to that of the State of Maryland. About one-fourth of the area is occupied by broad arms of the sea, chiefly Chesapeake bay and its tributaries, and the land is a low but handsome plain broken by erosion into hills, valleys, and terraces. It extends inland from the Atlantic seaboard to the base of the highland or Piedmont plateau, which rises on the west to the Allegheny mountains. The curved line separating the two topographic divisions - the lowland and the highland - is marked by falls in all the rivers and by the location of towns and cities through which pass the great highways of travel connecting the north with the south. Upon this line are located Philadelphia, Havre de Grace, Baltimore, Laurel, Washington, Fredericksburg, Richmond, and Petersburg (see Pl. I). This was the shore-line of the Atlantic when the formations constituting the lowlands were laid down. The separation of the lowland from the highland is not a topographic separation only, there are pronounced biologic and geologic distinctions, and these combined in archaic times to produce marked anthropologic distinctions. The tide-water region furnished a plentiful supply of game and fish, and in the brackish and salt water areas an abundance of oysters. The natives lived much upon the water and were perhaps more nearly a maritime people than any other group of tribes in the east.

Excerpt from American Anthropologist, Vol. 6: July-September, 1904 Tracking the movements of any group of the human race is a most fascinating occupation, no matter how obscure may be the traces left behind. But the scientific man feels much more secure in his conclusions if to documentary evidence he can add linguistic, to this ethnologic, to this archeologic, and so on, until, by careful checking of one sort of evidence against another, he is finally able to construct an unassailable record.

There is surprisingly little fieldwork done on the United States by anthropologists from abroad. America Observed fills that gap by bringing into greater focus empirical as well as theoretical implications of this phenomenon. Edited by Virginia Dominguez and Jasmin Habib, the essays collected here offer a critique of such an absence, exploring its likely reasons while also illustrating the advantages of studying fieldwork-based anthropological projects conducted by colleagues from outside the U.S. This volume contains an introduction written by the editors and fieldwork-based essays written by Helena Wulff, Jasmin Habib, Limor Darash, Ulf Hannerz, and Moshe Shokeid, and reflections on the broad issue written by Geoffrey White, Keiko Ikeda, and Jane Desmond. Suitable for introductory and mid-level anthropology courses, America Observed will also be useful for American Studies courses both in the U.S. and elsewhere.
