The special issue that I organized and guest edited with Michael J. Schaefer is now published in The Wisconsin Archeologist. The volume comprises papers dedicated to the career of Dr. James M. Skibo, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at Illinois State University.
Jim’s research and publications have included diverse topics across many regions, including the Philippines, the Midwestern United States, the Great Lakes region, and the American Southwest. The papers assembled in this volume, written by students and colleagues, reflect the broad impact of Jim’s career with an emphasis on his teaching and mentorship, and his legacy of archaeological methods and theory, including pottery use-alteration, behavioral archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, and experimental archaeology, to name a few. These papers celebrate the breadth and depth of Jim’s scholarship and his substantial contributions to the discipline of archaeology.
