	FACULTY NEWS James N. Hill receives Ceramics Committee Award from the Society for American Archaeology Influential Work on Prehistoric Social Organization Is Recognized by Marilyn Beaudry-Corbett AT THE 1997 meeting held in Nashville, Tennessee, the Society for American Archaeology recognized Dr. James N. Hill, Professor of Anthropology at UCLA, for his significant contributions to ceramic studies. Characterized as theoretical and seminal in the advancement of the study of material culture as a reflection of aspects of social organization, Jim's work has had far-reaching influence. It is doubtful whether there is another empirical study of ceramics in American archaeology that has stimulated more productive investigations than Hill's Broken K Pueblo. Research on formation processes, ceramic ethnoarchaeology, and the use of multivariate statistics in archaeology are among the innovations stemming from Hill's work. Marilyn Beaudry-Corbett is the Director of the Publications Unit of The Institute of Archaeology.
