There are no patron saints.
A Protestant
P.S. If archaeology needs a real Patron Saint it would have to
be either:
Lewis R. Binford
or
Sir Mortimer Wheeler
For intellectual contributions I am not sure, but on personality
it is Sir Mortimer all the way.
If this discussion is to continue (since the Taliban have blown up
the statues) we need to get it back on line - Patron Saints for
HISTORICAL Archaeology.
General Patron Saint - J.C. Harrington
Canada - Kenneth Kidd
Europe - [one of the founders of the
SPMA - but which one??]
Oceania - Judy Birmingham
Africa - Merrick Posnansky
Latin America - Jose Maria Cruxent or
Kathy Deagan or
Florence Lister
Scientific Historical
Archaeology - Stanley South
Humanistic Historical
Archaeology - Ivor Noel Hume or
James Deetz
Southeast - Charles Fairbanks
Middle Atlantic - too crowded
New England - James Deetz
American West - Art Woodward
Arctic - James Van Stone
Industrial Archaeology - Kenneth Hudson
Underwater Archaeology - [that's a hard one; not George Bass,
he is the PS for general Underwater
Archaeology - not post AD 1400]
Education - John L. Cotter
Artifacts - Ivor Noel Hume
Specific categories:
Nails - Bunny Fontana
Pipes - Ian Walker
Ceramics - George Miller
Beads - [as a member of the Bead Forum I
stay away from this one]
etc. etc. etc.
Of course this is my own personal list but who do you think picks
the Saints of the Catholic Church - I do not think it is God. I also
know that some of my selections are not dead [such a new field] but
they are not on HISTARCH so we can talk about them as candidates.
Who is the founder of Post-Medieval Archaeology in Europe? One
person?
