2 Numismatic Archaeology of North America is the first book to provide an archaeological overview of the coins and tokens found in a
7 wide range of North American archaeological sites. It begins with a comprehensive and well-illustrated review of the various coins
3
: and tokens that circulated in North America with descriptions of the uses for, and human behavior associated with, each type. The
3
2 book contains practical sections on standardized nomenclature, photographing, cleaning, and curating coins, and discusses the
t
a impacts of looting and of working with collectors. This is an important tool for archaeologists working with coins. For numismatists
o] and collectors, it explains the importance of archaeological context for complete analysis.
g
e
i Marjorie H. Akin specializes in numismatics within historical archaeology, and her publications include contributions to Green-
D
n wood’s Down by the Station: Los Angeles Chinatown 1890-1933, Costello’s The Luck of Third Street, and many articles and reports about
a Asian coins recovered in North America.
S
a, James C. Bard has worked professionally as an archaeologist since 1977, and is currently Principal of Ancient Artifact LLC in Port-
i
n
r land, Oregon. Recovery of Asian, as well as US and Canadian, coins in varied archaeological contexts focused his lifelong passion
o
f for coin collecting into deeper concern for the treatment of numismatic materials by historical archaeologists.
i
l
a
C Kevin Akin, a retired steam engineer, has provided physical labor for Margie Akin’s archaeological projects for forty-one years. He
of is a longtime collector of coins and tokens, an active member of several numismatic organizations, and has designed medals for
y coin clubs and community organizations.
