Our joint research at the Berry site began in 2001, and we have returned to continue work there each subsequent year. Most of the data that we ana- lyze and discuss in the pages that follow were recovered during the 2001 to 2010 seasons from that part of the site that we refer to as the Spanish compound. There are many institutions and individuals whose contributions have made our work not only possible but a joy, and we would like to acknowledge them here. First, we want to thank the entire Berry family for their stewardship of this incredible site, but we especially want to recognize James and Pat Berry, together with their son, Burton, and his family. Pat Berry passed away in 2012, and we miss the charm and wit that accompa- nied her near-daily visits to the site with James during our field seasons. If the Berry family has enabled the practical side of our work, then our greatest intellectual debt is to Charles Hudson. It is safe to say in more ways than we can recount here that Charlie was the force that brought all of us to Berry. Although none of us (Beck, Moore, and Rodning) was ever formally Charlie’s student, we have all benefitted immensely from his guid- ance, encouragement, and unbounded enthusiasm through the years. Our debt to him is both professional and personal. Sadly, Charlie, too, passed away before we were able to bring the book to publication. We therefore dedicate it to these two people Pat and Charlie who have meant the world to us and whom we miss dearly.
