Overview

This volume celebrates the career of Professor Haskel J. Greenfield, a renowned figure in archaeology and anthropology whose research since the 1970s has profoundly impacted our understanding of early sedentary and complex societies. As Professor of Anthropology and Head of Judaic Studies at the University of Manitoba, Greenfield's contributions span a range of topics, from the secondary products revolution, early urbanism, and the development and spread of metallurgy to zooarchaeology. He directed fieldwork on four continents, including projects in Israel, Jordan, South Africa, Turkey, and across eastern Europe. His research has been supported by numerous grants, including international partnership grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. His legacy of training successive generations of zooarchaeologists and archaeological scientists worldwide cannot be understated. The fruits of his knowledge can be seen within this Festschrift, as former students and colleagues explore the economic and technological underpinnings of societal complexity across the Old World from the Neolithic through to the modern period.
