Thomas W. Neumann - Cultural Resources Archaeology: An Introduction, Second Edition

Thomas W. Neumann received his B.A. from the University of Kentucky, with a major in anthropology and minors in physics, forestry, and English literature. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Minnesota. He established, then directed for many years, the doctoral program in archaeology at Syracuse University, served as a research associate for the State University of New York Research Foundation, and since 1986 has worked as a corporate archaeologist and research administrator. He has taught at the University of Minnesota, Syracuse University, University of Georgia Honors Program, and Emory University. He currently manages the Diachronics Division at the Pocket Park-Wentworth Analytical Facility. Dr. Neumann and his wife, Mary, live in Lilburn, Georgia, where they garden, brew beer, and generally enjoy life in their virtual village.

Robert M. Sanford received his B.A. in anthropology from the State University of New York (SUNY) College at Potsdam and his M.S. and Ph.D. in environmental science from the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry at Syracuse. Dr. Sanford has worked as a consulting archaeologist and as an environmental regulator. He has taught at Antioch New England Graduate School, the Community College of Vermont, Johnson State College, Onondaga Community College, and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. He is on the faculty of the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Southern Maine, where he also co-directs the Summer Archaeology Program. He lives in Gorham, Maine, with his wife Robin and children, Corey, Dan, and Morgan.

Karen G. Harry received her B.A. in anthropology from Texas A&M University and her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Arizona. Currently, Dr. Harry is a faculty member of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Prior to holding this position she worked in the field of cultural resources management, a background that she believes helps her to prepare students to enter the world of professional archaeology. As a consulting archaeologist, she worked for Statistical Research, Inc., a private consulting firm located in Tucson, Arizona; and as a government archaeologist, she served as the Director of Cultural Resources for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, with her husband Mark Slaughter and their two daughters, Maia and Ze.
