A Tribute to the Contributions of Lawrence C. Todd to World Prehistory

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "A Tribute to the Contributions of Lawrence C. Todd to World Prehistory" at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

For five decades, Lawrence C. Todd has fueled archaeology on multiple continents with a steady stream of novel ideas, innovative methods, and remarkable datasets. He has made substantive, empirical contributions to faunal exploitation, occupation of high-altitude environments, human evolution, field methods, and the prehistory of North America, Africa, and Asia. This session reflects on his valued contributions: celebrating his influence on how we view, record, and attempt to explain the archaeological record and how we must continually generate new questions to confront our often-unchallenged assumptions about the past.
