We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge them. All of the papers in this volume were initially presented in 2004 as part of a symposium entitled “Beyond Nationalist, Colonialist, Imperialist Archaeologies: Evaluating Multiple Narratives” at the 69th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) in Montreal. We thank those who participated in this symposium and agreed to con- tribute their papers to this volume. We would also like to thank three scholars, Nadia Abu El-Haj, Dante Angelo, and Nenad Tasic´, who presented papers at the symposium but were unable to contribute to this volume. Teresa Krauss and Katie Chabalko of Springer provided sage editorial advice and we thank them for their patience and assistance. We would also like to thank two anonymous reviewers, who gave us invaluable comments and suggestions on the contents of this book. Numerous other individuals, who provided assistance and support of various kinds, made this volume possible: Eric Atkinson, Mike Bisson, Patricia Fawcett, Marc Fawcett-Atkinson, Koji and Makiko Habu, Mark Hall, Katherine Howlett Hayes, Akiko and Mariko Idei, Tom and Sue Matsunaga, and Tanya Smith. We thank all of them for providing the help and support we needed to complete this work. In particular, Dr. Mark Hall helped us copyedit Chapter 11. John Matsunaga would like to thank the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley for providing funding in the form of a Lowie Olsen grant for travel to the SAA meetings in Montreal. Clare Fawcett thanks her colleagues at St. Francis Xavier University for providing a stimulating academic environment for archaeo- logical and anthropological research and teaching. Junko Habu thanks her colleagues at UC Berkeley for stimulating conversations about multivocality and the sociopolitics of archaeology. While we were editing this volume, we received the sad news that Professor Bruce Trigger had passed away on December 1, 2006. We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family. Bruce’s daughter, Dr. Rosalyn Trigger, helped us finalize his manuscript. We thank her for her assistance. As former Ph.D. students at McGill University in Montreal, both Clare Fawcett and Junko Habu benefited greatly from Bruce Trigger’s guidance. His work vii viii Acknowledgments inspired us to initiate the symposium and this book project. Over the years, as graduate students and then as colleagues, we learned a great deal about being schol- ars, teachers, and archaeologists from his dedication to archaeology, his commit- ment to social justice, his gift for open and innovative thought, and his enthusiasm, fairness, and humanity. For these reasons, we dedicate this book to his memory. Junko Habu Clare Fawcett John M. Matsunaga Table of Contents Chapter 1.
