Archaeology and Anthropology in Southeast Asia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 April 2011

Extract

I agreed in the fall of 1979 to be the guest editor of a special issue of the Journal of Southeast Asian Studies on the state of the art of archaeology and anthropology in Southeast Asia. This special issue was to be published in March 1984 and I was to have the papers to the editor by the 15th of October 1983; plenty of time I thought. I first attempted to get two senior American anthropologists to be associate editors, one for Mainland Southeast Asia and one for Island Southeast Asia. This did not work out so in the fall of 1980 I started to organize authors for each country. By the summer of 1981 I had arranged authors for thirteen reports.

I would like to dedicate this collection of papers to Donn Hart and David W. McCredie. Hart would have been the co-author of the paper on anthropology in the Philippines. He died while this paper was in the advanced planning stage, unfortunately before it was written. McCredie died not long after the completion of the paper for which he is a co-author. We miss both of them and are sorry they could not have been with us to have seen their papers in print.
