From the Sea to the Mountains: Dave Killick’s Impact on Archaeological Science Advances in Northwest Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Archaeological Science and African Archaeology: Appreciating the Impact of David Killick" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The borderlands setting of the University of Arizona has made it an epicenter for research focused on Northwest Mexico. This geographical proximity combined with the unfailing collaborative spirit of Dave Killick resulted in his students (official and honorary) having an outsized impact on the region. This presentation will review my archaeometric research focused on the Sierra Madre Occidental along with important contributions made by other Dave-influenced scholars in the adjacent Sonoran Desert and Coasts. The sum of these projects has substantially altered our understanding of the sociopolitical landscape of this important region that bridges the US Southwest-Mesoamerican continuum.
