In this dissertation, I present an archaeological and historical study of culture contact and colonialism on the 19th-century California rancho. Ranchos were land grants during the Spanish and Mexican periods (1769--1848) in California, and they served as loci of pluralistic social interactions between California land owners and Native American workers. Like other colonial contexts, labor was the node of interaction between indigenous people and settlers on ranchos. Therefore, I develop a theoretical perspective that incorporates labor, gender, social agency, and practice. The case study is the Rancho Petaluma, owned and operated by Mariano G. Vallejo from 1834 until the early 1850s. The rancho covered over 267 km2 north of San Francisco Bay, and the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park currently protects its residential core. The Rancho Petaluma is important not only because of its size and the unprecedented number of native individuals involved, but also because of Vallejo's political and military prominence.

520 $a In this dissertation, I present an archaeological and historical study of culture contact and colonialism on the 19th-century California rancho. Ranchos were land grants during the Spanish and Mexican periods (1769--1848) in California, and they served as loci of pluralistic social interactions between California land owners and Native American workers. Like other colonial contexts, labor was the node of interaction between indigenous people and settlers on ranchos. Therefore, I develop a theoretical perspective that incorporates labor, gender, social agency, and practice. The case study is the Rancho Petaluma, owned and operated by Mariano G. Vallejo from 1834 until the early 1850s. The rancho covered over 267 km2 north of San Francisco Bay, and the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park currently protects its residential core. The Rancho Petaluma is important not only because of its size and the unprecedented number of native individuals involved, but also because of Vallejo's political and military prominence.
520 $a Studying the Rancho Petaluma required a combination of archaeological and archival methods. I used archival data to outline the structure of the labor regime, and I gathered archaeological data using geophysical survey, shovel test survey, surface testing units, and subsurface excavation to supply information on Native American life on the rancho. Excavations revealed refuse pits, processing features, and a dense residential midden. Analysis of material culture---lithics, groundstone, faunal and floral remains, worked bone, ceramics, glass, metal, glass and shell beads---generated insight into domestic and working lives on the rancho.
520 $a Lithic artifacts display a continuity of stone tool technology with implications for identity politics. Dietary evidence demonstrates that native workers used both domesticated and wild foods. Mass-produced goods attest that ceramics were in limited supply but used as actual vessels, that glass bottles were acquired for their contents and for raw material, that various metal items were utilized, and that glass beads were important commodities. Combined with archival sources, the excavated materials reveal not only how colonial labor structured daily life for native workers, but also how individuals negotiated labor as part of identity, gender, and social relations. The material culture exposes indigenous practices played out in a colonial world.
