A Lifetime of Fieldwork

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Humble Houses to Magnificent Monuments: Papers in Honor of Jerry D. Moore" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Although Jerry is best known for his archaeological work in the Andes over the past 40 years, his interest in anthropology and in conducting fieldwork began much earlier as a high school student in Stockton, California. Initially intrigued by visits to museums, he set out to learn about Native Americans in the nearby Sierras, and his interests soon expanded to California archaeology. As an undergraduate at Cal State Stanislaus, a professor involved in CRM provided students with numerous opportunities to carry out archaeological fieldwork. As a graduate student at UCSB, Jerry’s interests became broader and included planned research in Baja California and in Southeast Asia. But in 1982, he was invited by Carol Mackey and Ulana Klymyshyn to join an archaeological project in Casma, Peru. Since then, Jerry’s principal focus has been on various archaeological projects in the Andes, but he has always maintained his broader interests in ethnographic and historical research in the Andes and in other regions of the Americas. Throughout his decades at CSUDH his teaching and training of students have always taken very broad perspectives This breadth and his varied experiences have made Jerry an extraordinarily effective and productive scholar and teacher.
