ABSTRACT
In 2020, the international and interdisciplinary field of the peopling of the Americas lost three giants: George C. Frison, José C. Jiménez López, and Yuri A. Mochanov. We join their families, friends, and colleagues in the USA, Mexico, Russia, and elsewhere across the Americas and northeast Asia in mourning their deaths and celebrating their lives and accomplishments.
