Joseph and Maria Shaw received the Archaeological Institute
of America’s Gold Medal for a lifetime of outstanding
achievement in January of 2006. This volume is a collection
of the papers presented at the Gold Medal Colloquium
held in their honor during the 2006 Annual Meeting of
the Archaeological Institute of America in Montreal,
Quebec. Additional articles have also been written for

the Shaws.
