Paper 1: Scholars' Biographies
For this assignment you must write an intellectual biography of an archaeologist.
By "intellectual biography" that I mean a 3-5 page biographical essay that
focusses on a person's scholarly life -- what questions have driven their
research, where they have carried out archaeological work, what they have
written, and so on. This will involve library research, looking up and
reading their work. It will also involve something like detective work,
figuring out what people were doing at various points in their lives, and
how their views changed through time. I would like you to include a bibliography
of at least 5-10 of their major written works, and links to other information
on them or their work. Here are some suggestions of names of archaeologists,
you may use others if you wish, but check with me first.
