I Love Sherds and Parasites: A Festschrift in Honor of Pat Urban and Ed Schortman

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 "I Love Sherds and Parasites: A Festschrift in Honor of Pat Urban and Ed Schortman," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Pat Urban and Ed Schortman have dedicated their careers to teaching and scholarship at Kenyon College and have helped pave the way for a large number of former students to become archaeologists. Pat and Ed first took students to Honduras in the mid-1980s as part of the Santa Barbara Archaeological Project (co-directed with Wendy Ashmore), and in 1998, formalized undergraduate participation as the Kenyon Honduras Program with the Naco Valley Project and, subsequently, the Cacaulapa Valley Project. There have been hundreds of students that have gone through the program, and today, some of those who went on to become professional archaeologists, as well as some of their colleagues, are here to offer insight into their education and foundation for their careers.
