Acknowledgments

Foremost, I thank Judy Sterner for her support, comments, and corrections of earlier drafts. In many ways, this review is as much about Judy's work as it is about Nic's. Nic and Judy worked as a team in life and in research, and Judy continues to move the Sukur cultural landscape project forward and to archive the MAP database. The review was immeasurably improved by Brenda Bowser's insightful comments and meticulous editing. Special thanks to Scott MacEachern and to other alumni of the MAP, particularly Ian Robertson, Caesar Apentiik, Kodjo Gavua, Claire Bourge, and Charles Mathers, whose recollections and comments over the past year have contributed to the review in different ways. And last but far from least, I will be forever grateful to Nic for introducing me to ethnoarchaeology, and for the paths it has taken me. Safe journey.
