About
Fierce and Indomitable: The Protohistoric Non-Pueblo World in the American Southwest
Trending upward as an archaeological field of study, protohistoric
mobile groups provide fascinating new directions for cutting-edge research in the American Southwest
and beyond. These mobile residents represent the ancient and ancestral roots of many modern indigenous
peoples, including the Apaches, Jumano, Yavapai, and Ute. These important protohistoric and historic
mobile people have tended to be ignored because their archaeological sites were deemed too difficult
to identify, too scant to be worthy of study, and too different to incorporate. This book brings
together information from a diverse collection of authors working throughout the American Southwest
and its fringes to make the bold statement that these groups can be identified in the archaeological
record and their sites have much to contribute to the study of cultural process, method and theory,
and past lifeways. Mobile groups are integral for assessing the grand reorganisational events of the
Late Prehistoric period and are key to understanding colonial contact and transformations.
Chapter 6 features the collaborative work of Deni Seymour and the Lipan Apache Tribe's Oscar Rodriguez.

About the Editor: Dr. Deni Seymour is an internationally recognized authority on
protohistoric and historic Native American and Spanish colonial archaeology and ethnohistory.
For 30 years she has studied the ancestral Apache, Sobaipuri-O’odham, and lesser-known mobile
groups (Jano, Jocome, Manso, Suma, and Jumano) who were present at the same time. She has
excavated two Spanish-period presidios (Santa Cruz de Terrenate and Tubac), numerous
Kino-period mission sites, and several indigenous sites of the period. She works with
indigenous groups in reconnecting with their heritage, tackles Coronado and Niza expedition
archaeology, and is rewriting the history of the pre-Spanish and colonial period southern
Southwest. She has published extensively on these groups and this period, with more than
80 publications in refereed journals, edited volumes, and popular venues, and has served
as guest editor for journals. She has also authored six books.
