James Robert Sackett passed away surrounded by his loving family on December 21, 2019, after a long and difficult illness. He was 86 years old. We as a discipline have lost a prehistoric archaeologist of great achievement.We who knew him have lost a beloved colleague whose intellectual integrity, boundless energy, and graceful manner affected anyone who came into contact with him. We will miss Jim profoundly. Jim Sackett was born on February 1, 1933, to Margaret and DeForest Sackett. Raised in the Midwest, he received his B.A. from Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. Impassioned by archaeology, Jim went on to Harvard, where he entered graduate studies under Hallam Movius and excavated with him at the Abri Pataud in Les Eyzies-des-Tayac, Dordogne, France. Sackett was interested in the earliest Upper Paleolithic culture at the site, the Aurignacian, and for his Ph.D. work he carried out analysis of the Aurignacian phenomenon across the Périgord region. He received his doctorate fromHarvard in 1965 with a dissertation entitled Aurignacian Culture in the Dordogne: A Study in Archaeological Systematics. In 1962, he joined the faculty in anthropology at the University of California at Los Angeles, where he remained for his entire academic career. Sackett was a founding member of the faculty of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology (Figure 1), served as the chair of the Anthropology Department, and taught numerous students how to carry out methodologically rigorous and intellectually significant archaeological work in Europe and elsewhere. At his death, James Sackett held emeritus faculty positions in both the UCLA Department of Anthropology and the Cotsen Institute. In our view, Jim Sackett made significant contributions to archaeology in three major areas. One concerned the nature of variability in Paleolithic stone tool assemblages and how it might best be identified and interpreted. The second grew out of the first and had an impact far wider than Paleolithic studies; this was his abiding concern with how the concept of style should be conceived and applied in archaeological analysis.

真正的时尚男人：詹姆斯·R·萨克特 (James R. Sackett) 的生平和贡献 (1933–2019)

詹姆斯·罗伯特·萨克特 (James Robert Sackett) 在经历了长期而艰难的疾病之后，于 2019 年 12 月 21 日在他亲爱的家人的陪伴下去世。他享年86岁。作为一个学科，我们失去了一位伟大的史前考古学家。我们认识他的人失去了一位心爱的同事，他的智慧正直、无穷的精力和优雅的举止影响了与他接触的任何人。我们将深深怀念吉姆。吉姆·萨克特 (Jim Sackett) 于 1933 年 2 月 1 日出生于玛格丽特 (Margaret) 和德福雷斯特·萨克特 (DeForest Sackett)。他在中西部长大，在威斯康星州阿普尔顿的劳伦斯大学获得学士学位。对考古学充满热情，吉姆继续前往哈佛，在哈勒姆·莫维斯 (Hallam Movius) 的指导下进入研究生学习，并与他一起在法国多尔多涅省 Les Eyzies-des-Tayac 的 Abri Pataud 进行挖掘。萨克特对该遗址最早的旧石器时代晚期文化感兴趣，Aurignacian，以及他的博士学位。他对佩里戈尔地区的 Aurignacian 现象进行了分析。他于 1965 年在哈佛获得博士学位，论文题为多尔多涅省的奥里尼亚克文化：考古系统学研究。1962 年，他加入了加州大学洛杉矶分校的人类学系，并在那里度过了他的整个学术生涯。Sackett 是 Cotsen 考古研究所（图 1）的创始成员，担任人类学系主任，并教过许多学生如何在欧洲和其他地方进行方法上严谨且具有智力意义的考古工作。在他去世时，詹姆斯·萨克特 (James Sackett) 在加州大学洛杉矶分校人类学系和科森研究所担任名誉教职。在我们看来，吉姆·萨克特在三个主要领域对考古学做出了重大贡献。其中之一涉及旧石器时代石器组合中可变性的性质以及如何最好地识别和解释它。第二个产生于第一个，其影响远远超过旧石器时代的研究。这是他对如何在考古分析中构思和应用风格概念的持久关注。
