Tom Dillehay's Contributions to Agricultural Origins and Development

Summary

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

Tom Dillehay’s best-known research is probably his pioneering work at Monte Verde, Chile, which was primary in upending the “Clovis First” paradigm for the initial peopling of the Americas. Perhaps less well known is his research in Peru that provided crucial information on the age, location, settlement patterns, and social contexts of some of South America's earliest farmers. This paper will review this body of research that demonstrates the amazing breadth of his research career on precolumbian peoples.
