From Households to Empires: Papers Presented in Honor of Bradley J. Parker

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 "From Households to Empires: Papers Presented in Honor of Bradley J. Parker," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Bradley J. Parker made numerous significant contributions to the field of archaeology and Assyriology on a broad array of topics spanning six millennia in both the ancient Near East and the Andes. His varied research interests included the archaeology of empires and imperial dynamics, frontiers and borderlands, households and micro-archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, aerial drone mapping, and the politics of archaeology and nationalism. In this session, we bring Old and New World perspectives together to discuss a range of topics that reflect on his indelible legacy in the field of archaeology and explore how his work will contribute to academic discourses in the future.
