Through these efforts, a massive data base of archaeological evidence from multiple sites is now assembled and it affords the opportunity of exploring broad questions about colonial encounters in this region. Good summaries of various aspects of 17th-century archaeological research, as of 1992, are provided in Reinhart and Pogue (1993), and 18th-century colonial sites research is reviewed in Reinhart (1996). A bibliographical guide to colonial sites research in the Middle-Atlantic region including the Chesapeake is found in Miller (1996). Another asset for the study of this region is the availability of a substantial documentary record. Historical scholarship on the 17th-century English colonists also flourished in the 1970s and 1980s (c.f. Morgan 1975; Tate and Ammerman 1979; Main 1982; Carr, Morgan and Russo 1988; Horn 1994), as did ethnohistorical research that has greatly expanded understanding of the Chesapeake Indians and intercultural relations (c.f. Potter 1976;

He, therefore, concocted an interesting brew of British culture at the frontier of empire. Making Empire investigates the way colonial encounters produced a culture of imperial rule.
Colonial Encounters in the Age of High Imperialism is the first book in the Longman World History Series, edited by Michael Adas.
