Walter E. Klippel came to the University of Tennessee in 1977 as an
assistant professor of anthropology. In the forty years that
followed, he supervised and mentored countless students in
archaeology and biological anthropology, published more than fifty
journal articles and book chapters, and assembled a
zooarchaeological comparative collection of national significance.
During his tenure, Klippel’s important contributions to the field
of zooarchaeology would impact not only his students and colleagues
but the development of zooarchaeological research as a whole. Even
after his retirement in 2017, Klippel’s influence is readily
apparent in the studies of his contemporaries. North American
Zooarchaeology: Reflections on History and Continuity is
their tribute to his work. Developed by friends, students, and
colleagues of Walter Klippel, North American
Zooarchaeology presents a wide-ranging collection of essays
through the lens of his remarkable career. Each chapter of the
volume represents a prevailing theme notable in Klippel’s
research, including geological and landscape contexts, taphonomy,
and the incorporation of actualistic methodologies and new
technologies into zooarchaeological analyses. The diversity of
topics represented across the ten chapters showcase just how
extensive Klippel’s research interests are and suggest how much
contemporary zooarchaeology owes to his vision. The authors take up
this broad palette to explore the various ways in which the
framework of zooarchaeology can be used and applied in
nontraditional settings. With a foreword by Bonnie Styles and Bruce
McMillan, longtime friends and colleagues of Walter Klippel, this
volume reflects on the history and continuity of zooarchaeology in
North America and honors one of its most notable contemporary
contributors. With its multifaceted approach, this volume is sure
to appeal to a broad array of practitioners in the field of
zooarchaeology.
