A wear member attachment system for an excavation implement lip can include a wear member that protects an edge of the lip, and a wear member adapter that attaches the wear member to the lip, the wear member adapter being secured to the lip by a fastener, and the wear member being secured to the wear member adapter by another fastener. A method of protecting an excavation implement lip can include securing a wear member adapter to the implement, the wear member adapter including at least one receptacle, and inserting a protrusion on a wear member into the receptacle. Another system can include a wear member that protects a forward edge of a lip, and a wear member adapter that attaches the wear member to the lip between two adjacent teeth. The wear member can comprise a shroud and the adapter can wrap about an edge of the lip.
