A Tribute to the Legacy of Leland Ferguson: A Journey From Uncommon Ground to God's Fields
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2024
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "A Tribute to the Legacy of Leland Ferguson: A Journey From Uncommon Ground to God's Fields," at the 2024 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Dr. Leland G. Ferguson was called to the field of archaeology from a young age, inspired by a childhood laced with arrowhead collection and folklore observations, which led to a unique attention to the interactions of people, places, and things. His nuanced dedication to engaging in multidisciplinary approaches and collaborative research opened the door for a new direction of archaeological inquiry, and he has often been heralded as one of the great teachers and mentors in American Archaeology. Reflections in this session highlight the many ways that Leland directly impacted the trajectory of historical archaeology, as well as the lives of those who conduct research within the field.
