This is an abstract from the "Reflections and Ripples of the Caiman: Papers in the Spirit of Don Lathrap" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Anyone who has taken an academic course with Don Lathrap rarely forgets the experience, as his lectures were both brilliant in content and disciplined in delivery. It was also in these classroom contexts that he sometimes expounded on authors and ideas central to his thinking but that curiously never made it...


Donald Lathrap, the Tropical Forest, and Hemispheric Archaeology (2018)
DOCUMENT Citation Only John Walker. Neil Duncan.

Donald Lathrap was a visionary anthropologist and archaeologist. His contributions always reflected the "big picture": an understanding that all pre-Columbian culture history was intertwined, and that these connections went back through time to origins in the lowland tropics, or the Tropical Forest. He practiced an archaeology that gave equal weight to iconography and religious thought, and rim sherds and energetics. The most significant issues for Lathrap’s version of American Archaeology, is...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ryan Clasby.

This is an abstract from the "Reflections and Ripples of the Caiman: Papers in the Spirit of Don Lathrap" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Edges of Teamwork in Archaeology:Network Approaches to Excavation Histories (2016)
DOCUMENT Full-Text Allison Mickel.

Network science has begun to transform how we view systems of people and objects in the archaeological past, but also provides new insight into how archaeologists collaborate to create the archaeological record. Using two longterm excavations as case studies-- Catalhoyuk in Turkey and the Temple of the Winged Lions in Petra, Jordan-- I demonstrate how network approaches help to visualize and measure teamwork on these archaeological sites. I identify how a person's position in formal site...


The Effect of Gender Imbalances in Mesoamerican Lithic Studies (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Marieka Brouwer Burg. Rachel Horowitz.

This is an abstract from the "Gender in Archaeology over the Last 30+ Years" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While more women than men are getting PhDs in archaeology today, female lithicists continue to be outnumbered by their male counterparts. This is in part a result of outdated gendered conceptions about who can do certain types of archaeological field and laboratory work, and also related to deeply seated, western notions of male versus...

Ethnographer Stewart Culin and "Games of the North American Indians" (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Barbara Voorhies.

This talk appraises the contribution of Stewart Culin, a self-taught ethnographer, to the study of games of indigenous North Americans. His exhaustive survey, published in 1907 by the Bureau of American Ethnology, remains the single comprehensive resource for archaeologists seeking to examine games in the prehistoric record and as such is well exemplified by the presentations in this symposium. Culin’s study, initiated in collaboration with Frank Hamilton Cushing, began in 1891 in connection...

Expanding the Niche: Gender and Bioarchaeology among Prehistoric Farming Groups (2024)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Jane Peterson.

This is an abstract from the "Gender in Archaeology over the Last 30+ Years" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In the early 1990s when I began my explorations of changing divisions of labor associated with agricultural transitions in the Levant, archaeology was grappling with the tip of the biocultural iceberg that was “gender” (sensu Fausto-Sterling 2000). During the intervening three decades, discussions of gender in archaeology have broadened....

As paleontologists and archaeologists began to find flint artifacts in Pleistocene deposits in France and Britain in the 1860s, followed soon thereafter by human fossils and Paleolithic art objects, researchers across Europe raced to discover further evidence for Paleolithic Europeans. In Moravia, now part of the...
