2017 Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of Naomi F. Miller

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

Naomi F. Miller is the 2017 recipient of the Fryxell Award for Interdisciplinary Research in archaeology. The Fryxell Award is presented in recognition for interdisciplinary excellence of a scientist who need not be an archaeologist, but whose research has contributed significantly to American archaeology. The award is made possible through the generosity of the family of the late Roald Fryxell, a geologist whose career exemplified the crucial role of multidisciplinary cooperation in archaeology. The 2017 Fryxell Award recognizes the area of plant sciences. Miller specializes in the study of human and landscape relationships through the analysis of macrobotanical remains from archaeological sites. Her career as a preeminent archaeobotanist and prolific researcher has led to over 100 publications and she has continually pushed the boundaries of archaeobotany through interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative work on archaeological site preservation. To reflect the diversity of Miller’s contributions to the field, this symposium brings together scholars working with plants, across methods, times, and regions, to present original research addressing the research themes with which Miller has engaged in her career.
