David G. Anderson (Ph.D. Michigan 1990, MA Arkansas 1979; BA Case Western Reserve 1972). Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Tennessee (2004-present; formerly with the National Park Service, 1988-2003. Awards: Society for American Archaeology (SAA) Dissertation Prize 1991; SAA Presidential Recognition Award 1997; SAA Excellence in Cultural Resource Management Award for Research 1999; First C. B. Moore Award for Excellence in Archaeology, Southeastern Archaeological Conference 1990. I have conducted archaeological fieldwork in the Southeastern, Southwestern, and Midwestern United States, and in the Caribbean. Professional interests include exploring the development of cultural complexity in Eastern North America, maintaining and improving the nation's archaeological program, teaching and writing about archaeology, and developing technical and popular syntheses of archaeological research. This work is documented in some 350 publications and meeting papers and some 40 books and technical monographs. Selected publications include The Savannah River Chiefdoms: Political Change in the Late Prehistoric Southeast (Alabama 1994), The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast (Alabama 1996); Archaeology of the Mid-Holocene Southeast (Florida 1996), the latter two edited with Ken Sassaman; The Woodland Southeast (Alabama 2002) edited with Bob Mainfort; Archaeology, History, and Predictive Modeling (Alabama 2003) with Steve Smith; and Climate Change and Cultural Dynamics: A Global Perspective on Mid-Holocene Transitions (Academic Press 2007) edited with Kirk A. Maasch and Daniel H. Sandweiss. Technical monographs/publications have encompassed large scale survey, excavation, and synthesis projects; site file management; site destruction and looting; historic preservation planning; and the state of the nation's cultural resource management program.
