Willey, Gordon Randolph

Willey, Gordon Randolph
▪ 2003

      American archaeologist and writer (b. March 7, 1913, Chariton, Iowa—d. April 28, 2002, Cambridge, Mass.), expanded the study of ancient societies to include not only excavations of the tombs of the elite but also artifacts from the households of ordinary people. His field research on pre-Colombian societies, as well as such books as Archeology of the Florida Gulf Coast (1949), the two-volume An Introduction to American Archaeology (1966, 1971), and A History of American Archaeology (1974; with Jeremy Sabloff), established him as one of the most influential American archaeologists of his time.
