- Summary
- "Byron Cummings, known to students and colleagues as "The Dean," had a profound influence on the archaeology of Arizona and Utah during its early development. An explorer, archaeologist, anthropologist, teacher, museum director, university administrator, and state parks commissioner, Cummings was involved in many important discoveries in the American Southwest over the first half of the twentieth century and was a pioneer in the education of generations of archaeologists and anthropologists." "This book presents the first comprehensive examination of Cummings' life, offering readers a greater understanding of his trailblazing work. Todd Bostwick elucidates Cummings' many intellectual and cultural contributions, investigates the controversies in which he was embroiled, and describes his battles to wrest control of Arizona archaeology from Eastern institutions that had long dominated Southwestern archaeology."--BOOK JACKET.
