| Abstract
|
:
|
"A preeminent archaeologist and New World theorist, Gordon R. Willey made innumerable contributions to the prehistory of the Americas and helped establish the leading methodological and theoretical paradigm used in American archaeology. He was particularly devoted to what studies of ceramics and other artifacts could tell us about "space-time systematics.""

"This volume not only analyzes Willey's impact on culture history and archaeological thought but also shows his human side, places his writing in historical context, and offers a unique overview of the growth of American archaeology over the past decades. To understand the work of Gordon R. Willey is to understand the history and future direction of American archaeology."--Jacket.
