“…Accordingly, territorial behavior is assumed to have existed in all prehistoric and historic periods. Some scholars argue that humans are territorial by nature (Ardrey, 1966;Cohen, 1976) or that some patterns of territorial control are apparent even among bands of hunter-gatherers (Cashdan, 1983(Cashdan, , 1989Dayson-Hudson and Smith, 1978;King, 1975;Peterson, 1975;Wilson, 1975).…”

“…Examples from ethnic enclaves and neighborhoods illustrate this. For many immigrant communities, ethnic enclaves arise in response to a need for social, economic, and psychological support as refugees and immigrants adjust to a larger host society (26;27). However, these enclaves are often located in poor neighborhoods associated with a host of upstream determinants that include racial segregation, unacceptable built environments, increased exposure to environmental hazards, inadequate educational institutions, and decreased employment opportunities – all of which lead to downstream consequences in poor health outcomes (25;28-30).…”

The goal of health equity requires the collection and reporting of disaggregated data in underrepresented populations such as Asian American (AA) and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) communities. A recent Department of Health and Human Services report outlines the necessity for disaggregated data which would offer communities, providers and planners better tools to address health problems. In a recent collaboration, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and several registries published a series of papers tracking cancer incidence data on AA and NHOPI communities using data from the NCI’s Surveillance and Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program. The findings indicate a need for concentrated focus and planning for the next stages of cancer prevention and control for AA and NHOPI subpopulations. In this article, we provide (a) the context for the perpetuation of the model minority myth as well as historical and socio-cultural factors that have shaped health and disease for AA and NHOPI subgroups; (b) potential strategies for research and public health policy for AA and NHOPI groups using subpopulation-based approaches while addressing challenges and limitations; and (c) a portfolio analysis of currently funded projects within the NCI/DCCPS to identify gaps and areas of potential research.

“…Dyson‐Hudson and Smith's () “defensibility” model remains the most influential study of human territoriality in evolutionary ecology (see also Taylor ). Writing at a time when a number of scholars had suggested that humans might be “hardwired” to seek territorial control (Ardrey ; Cohen ), the authors instead focused on the correlation of forms of sociospatial organization and patterns of resource distribution. In essence, they argued, where the economic benefits of defending territories outweigh the costs, stable territorial systems should emerge.…”

Archaeological studies of political life have often assumed that the control of territory is an inherent aspect of social power, particularly within complex polities. Frustration with the rigid territorialism of archaeological approaches to politics has fostered enthusiasm for alternative models of political space, including networks. While we concur with this frustration, we argue that territorial models should still be integral to archaeological studies of political landscapes. However, archaeologists should reframe the control of territory as one of many modalities through which authority can be claimed and reproduced and focus attention on variability in territorial patterns and processes. In this introduction, we review previous approaches to territoriality in anthropology and corollary fields, outline dimensions of variability in territorial behaviors and institutions, and provide a foundation for the series of essays in this volume, which collectively seek to invigorate the study of territoriality in anthropological archaeology.
