1 In Memoriam Christopher S. Peebles (1939-2012)

Christopher S. Peebles passed away Monday evening, April 16, 2012. Chris is best known through the successes of the many students he mentored, the innovative scholarship he produced, and his leadership of the Glenn A. Black Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana University, for which he was most proud. His scholarship on Mississippian archaeology, geophysical applications to archaeological investigations, modern and prehistoric social complexity, and information technology will continue to inspire colleagues for years to come. His appointments included Profes- sor of Anthropology and Director of the Glenn A. Black Labora- tory of Archaeology and positions in the Program for Cognitive Science and in the School of Informatics. After retirement, Chris continued to advise students and colleagues as Professor Emeri- tus of Anthropology, Director Emeritus of the Glenn A, Black Laboratory of Archaeology, and Dean Emeritus and Associate Vice President Emeritus for Information Technology.
