Obituary: Gordon Randolph Willey (1913–2002)

Jeremy A. Sabloff

"Misled" and "dealt a marginal hand by my colleagues" were just two of the thoughts that ran through Gordon Willey's mind in the spring of 1946, as he walked over the rough terrain of the Virú Valley in northern Peru. As a relative newcomer to the field of archaeology, just four years on from finishing his PhD at Columbia University, Willey fretted that, while his associates in the Virú Valley programme were getting to do the important work such as excavating stratigraphic pits or collecting ancient potsherds, he had been assigned the less significant chore of studying the distribution of archaeological sites and trying to understand their prehistoric spatial relationships and functions.
