Dr.
David Wilcox, MNA’s Senior Research Anthropologist, headed MNA’s
Anthropology Department from 1988 to 2006. Since receiving his B.A. from Beloit
College in 1966 and his doctorate from the University of Arizona in 1977, Wilcox
has worked extensively on questions of social and political organization of Southwestern
settlements, communities, and regional/macro-regional systems. He has published
12 monographs and over 65 articles and books. His current research topics include
Zuni origins, Chacoan settlement patterns over time, the history of archaeology,
and the archaeology of the greater Flagstaff area — a project that has
expanded into a “hilltop survey” in all of west-central Arizona,
with volunteers from the Verde Valley Archaeology Society and Arizona Site Stewards.
