Alternative Perspectives on the Peopling of the New World: A Symposium in Honor of Ruth Gruhn, the "First Lady" of First Americans Studies
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
Dr. Ruth Gruhn has long served as a proponent for alternative records and non-Clovis-centric models of the Pleistocene peopling of the Americas. Over her long career she conducted field-based Paleoindian research in the Intermountain West of North America, Baja California, Guatemala, and northern South America, and she became well-known and respected in nearly every country of the Western Hemisphere. The papers in this session commemorate Dr. Gruhn's contributions to non-Clovis Pleistocene archaeologies across the Western Hemisphere, Paleoindian studies in Latin America, and the concept of a Pacific coastal migration. We also celebrate her enduring, selfless role as Paleoindian archaeology’s ‘inter-continental’ ambassador.
