Abstract

In contributing this foreword to a volume containing papers by his colleagues to mark Jack Golson's retirement, it will be my aim to emphasise the qualities of mind and character that have enabled him to set the Department of Prehistory so firmly on its feet in the Research School of Pacific Studies of the Australian National University. During his tenure he has helped to make Australia a major centre of world prehistory and stimulate its study in many other Universities. (First paragraph of Foreword).
