A Conversation with Bill Lipe (interview format)

Abstract

On April 7, 2006, at Washington State University, Tim Kohler and R. G. Matson interviewed Bill Lipe about the book Tracking Ancient Footsteps: William D. Lipe's Contributions to Southwestern Prehistory and Public Archaeology. A few days before the interview, they gave Lipe a list of a half-dozen possible topics. About 90 minutes of open-ended conversation then began, later transcribed by Diane Curewitz. What follows is a lightly edited version of that conversation, with inserts noted by square brackets.
