In Archaeological Thinking, Charles E. Orser Jr., provides a commonsense guide to applying critical thinking skills to archaeological questions and evidence.

By focusing on ""racialization,"" the marginalizing process in which racial categories are imposed on groups of people based on some outward characteristic, this book shows how historical archaeology can contribute to the study of race through the conscious examination of material culture.

Charles E. Orser, Jr. argues that since race has been used implicitly in archaeology for more than 100 years, the issue must be addressed directly despite the long history of debate, denial, and ignorance.
