This paper discusses the historical archaeology of migration in the American Southwest. I raise three points for consideration. First, the archaeology of migration in the Southwest following Spanish colonialism has been relatively absent, but is a rich area of inquiry for historical archaeologists. Second, migration has shaped the regional consciousness, landscape, and myth-making of the historic Southwest in significant ways that merit archaeological attention. Finally, drawing on the example of Alsatian migration to Texas, I propose that an attention to scale – how migrations occur alongside and within other movements – can add nuance to historical narratives of the West by highlighting the great diversity that characterizes the region throughout the historic period.

美国西南部迁徙的历史考古学

本文讨论了美国西南部迁徙的历史考古学。我提出三点考虑。首先，西班牙殖民主义之后西南移民的考古学已经相对缺乏，但是它是历史考古学家研究的一个丰富领域。其次，移民以重要的方式影响了历史西南地区的区域意识，地貌和神话的形成，值得考古关注。最后，以阿尔萨斯人向得克萨斯州迁移的例子为例，我建议关注规模-迁移与其他运动并存以及在其他运动中的发生方式-可以通过突出体现整个历史悠久地区特征的巨大多样性，来增加西方历史叙述的细微差别。期。
