Dillehay’s Legacy: Modeling Interdisciplinary and International Scholarship in Archaeology of the Americas

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Dedication, Collaboration, and Vision, Part I: Papers in Honor of Tom D. Dillehay" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

With this paper, we reflect on Tom Dillehay’s contribution to archaeology by highlighting several facets of his approach to interdisciplinary research and scholarship that have heavily influenced our own work and careers, and those of many others. We do so in part by exploring our collective hemispherical approaches to studying the peopling of the Americas and emerging complexity as expressed among populations in different regions of North and South America during the late Pleistocene through early Holocene. Specific focus is placed on Preceramic period archaeology in northern coastal Peru, as well as Paleoindian sites in parts of the Southeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States. We further present the ways in which lessons we learned under Tom’s guidance continue to affect our careers today well beyond our respective initial research interests.
