From Colonization to Complexity and Beyond: David G. Anderson and Big Picture Archaeology in North America

Summary

This is an abstract from the "*SE Big Data and Bigger Questions: Papers in Honor of David G. Anderson" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

David G. Anderson’s contributions to the field of archaeology are beyond measure, both in number, scope, and significance. These include substantive contributions to Southeast prehistory, from the peopling of the Americas to the historic period, and from academia to the field of cultural resource management (CRM). David has also had an impact on numerous individuals, via publication, mentorship, and education. In this presentation, I will highlight a number of the ways that David has been an inspiration and enduring influence on my own life and career as an archaeologist in the US Southeast. In particular, I will discuss a sample of his own work and how it has guided my own research in the field of archaeology over the past two decades.
