*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson

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 "*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson" at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This symposium celebrates the career and contributions of David G. Anderson to North American archaeology and beyond. From humble beginnings as a technician in contract archaeology, to the National Park Service, and ultimately his professorship at the University of Tennessee, Dave has had a big impact on the field, his friends and colleagues, and students at every scale of measure. Spanning the peopling of the Americas to the historic period, he has left an indelible mark on the field of archaeology in both the cultural resource management (CRM) and academic realms. Beginning with his early work on big CRM projects, such as Richard B. Russell and Fort Polk, to his later developments of big archaeological datasets, such as the Paleoindian Database of the Americas (PIDBA) and the Digital Index of North American Archaeology (DINAA), Dave has pursued ever bigger questions about the past throughout his storied career, elevating the field and all those around him.
