A n important, stimulating and often provocative voice in southwestern archaeology and archaeological method and theory fell silent with the death of Fred Plog in Las Cruces, New Mexico, on June 18, 1992. He died just one month short of what would have been his 48th birthday. His life and career accomplishments took place with extraordinary speed, intensity, and impact. In a period of less than 25 years Fred Plog played a key role in helping to change the practice of American archaeology and the writing of prehistory in the Southwest. In his writing and teaching he was the quintessential "processual" archaeologist. His research emphasized goals and methods intended to highlight behavioral variability, and they had a marked and lasting impact on our perceptions of prehistoric cultures in the Southwest
