Ruthann Knudson: Colleague, Friend, Mentor, and Much More

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Paleo Lithics to Legacy Management: Ruthann Knudson—Inawa’sioskitsipaki" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Ruthann Knudson's career in archaeology began with work on midwestern ceramics in 1963 at the University of Minnesota and spanned nearly six decades. During that remarkable time, she taught at academic institutions, engaged in contract archaeology, much research focused on Paleoindians and lithics, surveyed, excavated, and analyzed material from throughout North America, coordinated Native American consultations, developed public museums, lobbied for archaeology at the national level, mentored students and colleagues, and much more. In this presentation I illuminate some of Ruthann's contributions to archaeology.
