American Anthropological Association Purpose: For eminence in the field of American archeology with emphasis on the American Southwest and Middle America so long as these fields are important in archeological research. Current Data: A medal given every three years to a scholar selected by an especially ap? pointed committee of the American Anthro? pological Association. The medal is presented at the annual meeting of the Association, and notices published in the American Anthropol? ogist and in American Antiquity. No address or papers are associated. A statement on the award appeared in American Antiquity, Vol. 16, No. 3, p. 267, January, 1951. History: Established 1 November 1950, in commemoration of the retirement on that date of A. V. Kidder as Chairman of die Division of Historical Research, Carnegie Institution of Washington. The donors were a large num? ber of Dr. Kidder's friends headed by a Com? mittee consisting of Robert Wauchope, Chairman; J. O. Brew; Gordon F. Ekholm; Emil W. Haury; Jesse L. Nusbaum; and H. E. D. Pollock. Contributions paid for the casting of 100 medals and the establishment of $100, in the capital funds of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard Univer? sity, where the medals are deposited, to pro? duce an income for inscribing the recipients' names on the medals. The original Award Committee requested the Executive Board of The American Anthropological Association to superintend the selection of the recipient by appointing a committee for that purpose. There is no specific commitment for perpetuating this relationship between the Associa? tion and the award. The medal, designed and sculpted by Miss Tatiana Proskouriakoff, is of bronze, three inches in diameter. The obverse bears a carving taken from a carved slate mirror-back excavated by Dr. Kidder at Kaminal Juyu in Guatemala; the reverse is a conjectural detail of a Southwestern cliff

A sketch on field methods and techniques has also been included, again because the approach to field work appears largely to be the result of the specific concepts and attitudes that anthropologists have toward nonliter? ate societies. Finally, the terms "primitive," "native," and the like, are analyzed for their validity as descriptive and taxonomic designations and with reference to their reception by the public-at-large and the peoples so designated. The problem of terminological designa? tions for nonliterate societies is an espe? cially serious one. The fact that "primitive," "native," and similar terms are often placed within quotation marks indicates the shaky and unsure ground upon which they rest as designations for the societies which an? thropologists study. That these terms are not used in a definitive and precise fashion reflects the growing and changing science of anthropology and also a changing world situation. As a science grows and matures it revises and regulates its terminology. More appropriate terms, both in a descrip? tive and taxonomic sense, replace the older and less appropriate designations.
