Stephen Kowalewski, su vida y obra: a life of regional survey and looking at the big picture

Summary

In this opening paper for the session in honor of Stephen Kowalewski we talk about Steve’s life and background, his experience in Southwestern and Mesoamerican archaeology, and about a life of teaching and mentoring in the classroom and in the field. We discuss Stephen Kowalewski’s work in archaeology and the rich regional datasets that we now enjoy as a result of his teachings and labors. This presentation also reflects on the theoretical and methodological approaches that Steve has employed and championed and how his professional and personal impacts are felt in archaeological research taking place in a number of world regions today.
