2019 Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of M. Steven Shackley
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "2019 Fryxell Award Symposium: Papers in Honor of M. Steven Shackley," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
Professor M. Steven Shackley has been awarded the 2018 Fryxell Award for Interdisciplinary Research in Archaeology. Over a long and productive career of thirty years, Professor Shackley is perhaps best known for his work on obsidian characterization in the American Southwest, where he has been on the forefront of elemental analysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry, as a basis for understanding regional interaction in prehistory. In this capacity, he has been a steady voice arguing for the importance of high-quality scientific research in archaeology and geological sciences. Complementing this regional focus, are his contributions to the international field of obsidian studies. In this session we recognize the outstanding accomplishments of Professor Shackley and his influence on current research in the field of obsidian studies.
