A Place Remembered

[...] I have spent most of my adult fife and have carried out most of my archaeological fieldwork in the Southwest, especially in Arizona, where I have enjoyed four decades of teaching in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arizona and six decades of marriage to the daughter of an Arizona rancher. Through the years he has published many and varied contributions to that definition and more recentiy his own insightful comments on place in the fiftieth-anniversary issue of JSW, even drawing from his talented daughter by including her perceptive essay about being "the children of our landscape" (Wilder and Wilder 2008: 475).
