SAA's Archiving the Archaeologists: Bill Lipe

Abstract

SAA's "Archiving the Archaeologists" series is an oral history project designed to capture personal insights and recollections of archaeologists near retirement or already retired. Archaeologists interviewed in the series reflect on their careers, how and why they became archaeologists, and their contributions to the discipline. This series not only archives the words and images of senior archaeologists, but it also provides other archaeologists, avocationalists, students, and the public insight into what it is like to be an archaeologist in a particular time and place. The series "Archiving the Archaeologists" is funded by the Society for American Archaeology and is a project of the History of Archaeology Interest Group. In this interview, Bill Lipe discusses the Glen Canyon and Cedar Mesa Projects as well as his creer at Washington State University.
