| Biographies Dr. Juliet E. Morrow Juliet E. Morrow is currently a Survey Archeologist with the Arkansas Archeological Survey. Her 1996 doctoral dissertation summarized the evidence for the Peopling of the Americas and focused on the technology and mobility of Clovis and related fluted-point makers. She has directed investigations of dozens of sites in the Midwest and Midsouth, including large-scale excavations at the Martens Clovis camp in St. Louis County, Missouri, the Late Mississippian Greenbrier town near Batesville, Arkansas and the National Geographic-funded King Mastodon site in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Her specialties include lithic technology and osteology. She teaches archeology and anthropology courses at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro and at the annual training program of the Arkansas Archeological Survey/Society. Julie is a vice-president on the executive board of the Missouri Archaeological Society and in 2003 received the MAS award for Public Archeology for excavation of the Martens Clovis camp. In her position with the Survey, she uses her experience in geology and pedology to search for buried Clovis era sites. Recent research includes the study of Clovis tools from the Anzick site----the only known Clovis burial, as well as stone tools from the East Wenatchee, Simon, and Murray Springs Clovis sites. Dr. Dennis Stanford Dr. Dennis Stanford is Curator of Archaeology and Chairman of the Anthropology Department at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. (www.mnh.si.edu/). He has devoted his career to early American prehistory, and done field work from Alaska to Monte Verde in Chile, where the oldest human remains in the Americas were found. With his Smithsonian colleague Bruce Bradley, he is working on the possibility that Clovis points, first found in North America around 11,000 years ago, derive from similar flaking techniques developed thousands of years earlier in Spain. The idea may have been brought here by an early visitor who travelled by boat. Such a traveler might have traveled along the edge of an icecap which rimmed the North Atlantic during the Ice Age. Dr. Stanford is also one of the eight archaeologists suing the U.S. government to make the Kennewick Man available for study. An article on his theories about the link between European and American flaking technology can be found at http://www.mnh.si.edu/arctic/arctic/html/dennis_stanford.html -- part of a Smithsonian web site called "Northern Clans, Northern Traces." His recent publications include the book Ice Age Hunters of the Rockies (1992, Boulder: University Press of Colorado), which he edited with Jane Day and to which he contributes an introduction and an article. He edited an earlier book, Pre-Llano cultures of the Americas: paradoxes and possibilities, with Robert L.Humphrey (Washington, DC : Anthropological Society of Washington, 1979) He is working on a book about his theory of an early North Atlantic crossing. Dr. Albert Goodyear Albert C. Goodyear Albert C. Goodyear, Ph.D. Director, Southeastern Paleoamerican Survey S.C. Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of South Carolina Columbia, SC 29208. Al Goodyear grew up in Florida where he began observing Paleoindian artifacts dredged up from drowned sites in Tampa Bay. He took is masters degree from the University of Arkansas working with Dan F. Morse on Dalton culture studies, culminating in the publication of the Brand site in 1974. He received his doctorate from Arizona State University in 1976 with dissertation research on Desert Hohokam. As a graduate student he had the opportunity to work with Don Crabtree in his 1972 flintworking field school. He joined the S.C. Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina in 1974 where he has been an archaeologist in the Research Division. He has spent the last 20 years studying Paleoamerican lithic sites in the central Savannah River Valley in Allendale Co., S.C. His interests include traditional Paleo-Indian studies, lithic technology, the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, and geoarchaeological approaches to Southeastern U.S. archaeology. He is also interested in primitive cooking techniques, especially barbecue. |
