Скачать или смотреть Legends of the Halls – Digging into an Archaeologist's Past

David Banks Rogers founded the Museum’s Department of Anthropology when he joined the staff in January 1925. His classic book Prehistoric Man of the Santa Barbara Coast became the Museum’s first published monograph, and his archaeological collections continue to play a major role in ongoing studies of cultural change in the Chumash region. Given his important legacy, what really is known about Rogers’s own background? Curator of Anthropology John R. Johnson, Ph.D., hares his findings from excavating Rogers’s own past to learn more about his life and work.
