Acknowledgments:

I have amassed great debt to many people in the process of putting together this special collection and organizing the two conference sessions that inspired it. Foremost are thanks to the many contributors for their preparedness and efficiency in handling early drafts and submissions. More importantly, thank you for your patience and understanding, especially Christopher N. Matthews, friend and editor of Historical Archaeology, and all the others working behind the scenes who brought this to fruition. Finally, we are all indebted to the anonymous reviewers, who offered insightful feedback and suggestions that ultimately shaped the outcome of this issue.
