Building Bridges: Papers in Honor of Teresita Majewski

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 89th Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA (2024)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Building Bridges: Papers in Honor of Teresita Majewski" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Inspired by Teresita Majewski’s many contributions to the discipline of archaeology—especially in the areas of historical archaeology and cultural resource management—the papers in this session advance our understanding of pivotal issues in those fields. Contributors explore the central themes of Majewski’s work, including questions about variation in ceramics, food heritage and food tourism, colonialism, consumerism, collections management, tribal consultation, and the ethical and practical challenges facing the global industry of heritage management. Reflecting on her legacy of professional service and mentorship, these papers also consider how much this “invisible work” has and continues to shape our field.
