The Society for Historical Archaeology is pleased to announce the winner of the 2020 James Deetz Book Award, Plundered Skulls and Stolen Spirits: Inside the Fight to Reclaim Native America’s Culture (University of Chicago Press) by Dr. Chip Colwell.  The Award will be presented to Dr. Colwell at the SHA 2020 Conference on Historical and Underwater Archaeology in Boston on January 8, 2020.   

The Deetz Book Award is named for James Deetz (1930-2000), whose books are classics for professional archaeologists as well as for non-specialists.  Deetz’s accessible and entertaining style of writing gave his books influence beyond the discipline because they are read by a broad audience of non-specialists. The Deetz Award is intended to recognize books and monographs that are similarly well-written rigorous scholarship accessible to all potential readers.

Congratulations to Dr. Colwell!
