The Caiman’s (and Frog’s) Revenge: Intersecting Papers in Honor of Peter G. Roe

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)

Peter G. Roe earned his PhD at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana under the direction of Donald W. Lathrap. Following in Lathrap’s large footsteps, over the past four decades Roe has carried out novel and pioneering research in a number of areas, including cosmology and religion; art, iconography, and design analysis; technology; ethnohistory; and ethnoarchaeology. Uniting these threads has been his abiding commitment to South American and Caribbean archaeology and ethnography. In this session, colleagues and former students present papers that relate to Professor Roe’s varied interests.
