xvii First, I thank the participants in the symposium From Subsistence to Social Strategies: Refining the Material Correlates of Household and Suprahousehold Levels of Food Preparation, which I organized for the Society for American Archaeology meetings in Montreal, Canada. Special thanks go to Barbara Mills and Jason Ur for their encouragement and enthusiasm for making this symposium into an edited volume. Our discussants, Arthur Joyce and John Janusek, provided valuable feedback during the symposium, as did James Potter, who contributed a commentary in the finished volume. Thanks to all the contributors for sharing their research and for being so patient throughout the long process from session to completed volume. My thanks also go to the two reviewers for their overall support, valuable critiques, and many suggestions for improvement. This is a better, more cohesive publication because of their efforts and insights. Last, Darrin Pratt and the staff of the University Press of Colorado have also been a tremendous help through every step of this process. As mentioned in the opening of Chapter 1, the inspiration for this volume came from years of living and working in the Lake Titicaca Basin of Peru and Bolivia. Mil gracias to the many households and communities that have invited me to share in their weddings, AcKnowledgMents xviii AcKnowledgMents baptisms, hair cuttings, funerals, and other important events, always accompanied by a hearty pile of potatoes and cases of Cusqueña beer. Also, my participation in these projects over the years would not have been possible without the support of Programa Collasuyu, directed by Mark Aldenderfer, Charles Stanish, and Cecilia Chávez Justo. Last and most important, I want to recognize the unwavering support of Matt Wilhelm, my imperturbable cheerleader in all things personal and professional. Thank you for keeping me motivated and well fed during the many early mornings and late nights working to complete this project.
