ONEONTA, N.Y. --
Dr. Renee Walker,
Assistant Professor of
Anthropology at the SUNY College at Oneonta, is co-editor and a
contributing author to a new book entitled "Foragers of the Terminal
Pleistocene in North America," which was released recently by the University
of Nebraska Press.
The collection of 12 essays is based on presentations at a symposium
of the Society for American Archaeology organized by Dr. Walker. Most of
the chapters focus on new data gathered in recent anthropological
research on Paleo-indian subsistence from approximately 10,000 to 15,000
years ago.
Dr. Walker also wrote the chapter entitled "Hunting in the Late
Paleoindian Period: Faunal Remains from Dust Cave, Alabama." With her
co-editor Boyce N. Driskell, the director of the Archaeological Research
Laboratory at the University of Tennessee, she co-wrote the introduction
entitled "New Developments in Paleoindian Subsistence Studies" and the
conclusion entitled "Making Sense of Paleoindian Subsistence
Strategies."
Walker, the recipient of the College's 2006 Richard Siegfried Junior
Faculty Prize for Academic Excellence, joined the SUNY-Oneonta faculty
in 2002. She holds a doctorate and a master's degree in anthropology
from the University of Tennessee and a bachelor's degree from Indiana
University of Pennsylvania. At SUNY-Oneonta, she teaches courses in
anthropology and archaeology and serves as co-director of the
Archeological Field School at Pine Lake.
