Crouching (Jade) Monkey, Hidden Lessons: A Formative Period in Honduras

Summary

This is an abstract from the "I Love Sherds and Parasites: A Festschrift in Honor of Pat Urban and Ed Schortman" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The authors, along with many others, got their first immersion in archaeology thanks to Pat and Ed as part of the Kenyon Honduras Program. Their subsequent trajectories in archaeology took both of them away from Mesoamerica, albeit in very different directions, but both trace their origins to the Naco Valley during the Spring of 1995. Using examples from their work, ranging from the Levantine Neolithic to Civil War battlefields of the American Southeast, they reflect on the significance of that early inspiration, and consider why it was so effective in fostering their respective careers.
