Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)

Elizabeth J. Reitz is the recipient of the 2016 Fryxell Award for Interdisciplinary Research in Archaeology. The Fryxell Award is presented to a scientist in recognition for excellence in interdisciplinary research that significantly has contributed to American Archaeology. The 2016 Fryxell Award specifically recognizes a scholar who has made significant contributions in the application of the zoological sciences in archaeology. Dr. Reitz has a distinguished career as a zooarchaeologist. Her zooarchaeological research embodies interdisciplinary scholarship, bridging studies of human-environmental relationships in the past with topics of global concern in the modern world. Her pioneering work focuses on developing analytical methods that make zooarchaeological data compatible, accessible, and relevant across disciplines. Her research spans the terminal Pleistocene to post-Columbia era, from the United States to the Caribbean and South America, and has been featured in numerous books, monographs, journals, and zooarchaeological reports. This symposium, sponsored by the Fryxell Award for Interdisciplinary Research, highlights Dr. Reitz’s contribution to American Archaeology through her zooarchaeological research paradigm.
