It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our good friend and colleague, Dr. Kenneth Ames. Ken was one of the most prominent and influential archaeologists working in the Pacific Northwest for over 40 years. He established a regional, national, and international reputation through the quality of his research and theoretical contributions. We were honored by his association with our firm over the years. Ken contributed immeasurably to both our professional and personal lives. He will be greatly missed.
