Richard Cooke: Archaeologist, Colleague, and Friend Extraordinaire

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Unraveling the Mysteries of the Isthmo-Colombian Area’s Past: A Symposium in Honor of Archaeologist Richard Cooke and His Contributions" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper discusses Richard Cooke’s career in the context of my professional and personal relationships with him. Over a more than 40-year period beginning with my first trip to Panama in 1979 as a graduate student I enjoyed the benefits of his enormous knowledge, support of my career, friendship, and ability to promote a congenial and productive workplace. I will review the work we did together at Panamanian archaeological sites, as well as some of his many other noteworthy achievements in Latin American archaeology.
