The Geoarchaeological Contributions of Vance T. Holliday

Summary

Vance T. Holliday has played a key role in developing our understanding of the late Pleistocene geological history, climate and environment of North America, especially the Great Plains, and of the context and chronology of Paleoindian sites. The localities he has worked on, and to which much is owed to his interpretation of their geoarchaeological setting and histories, include iconic localities such as the Clovis, Folsom, Midland and Plainview type sites, and especially the Lubbock Lake site, where his decades of research and fine-grained studies have made it a model of a geoarchaeological study. At these sites and others where he's worked, his research is routinely marked by efforts to understand the broader processes of landscape evolution, and how such changes impact our ability to find and understand archaeological sites.
