University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

Libraries foster curiosity and encourage the thrill of discovery. Libraries nurtured my interest in ancient places and fascinating teachers cultivated this interest, leading me to study anthropology at Penn State. Though I choose a career in libraries, this title combines two passions: preserving and providing access to the historical record and study of the prehistoric world through cultural evidence. It is my fervent desire that this volume will serve to inspire future generations of library and field researchers.
