Extract

The invitation to review a half century of archaeological procedures, events, and accomplishments in the American Southwest gave me an initial start—not because of the magnitude of the task—but because it brought home the reluctantly admitted fact that I have been around that long as a witness. In younger days the thought of being part of the process of looking into the past for five or six decades was as unfathomable as were some of the ages we were assigning to the remains under study. Even to an archaeologist, the concept of time operates on two levels: the first relates to the past societies of unknown name but of ages measured in centuries or millennia; and the second, intimately personal, infinitely shorter and far more real, is the span of one's own life.
