Marley Brown III
I was trained at the outset of true interdisciplinary historical archaeology beginning in the late 1960s and through the good fortune of working with two serious mentors (James Deetz and David Fredrickson) I learned the inner workings of both academic and applied archaeology. I also benefited from excellent undergraduate training in social and cultural anthropology at Brown University. All of what I have learned and know I have tried to impart to my undergraduate and graduate students. I began teaching the former in 1969 and the latter in 1975 when I was appointed an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brown. Since 1983 I have been teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in anthropology and history at the College of William and Mary through the good offices of Professors Norman Barka and James Whittenburg. With the late Dr. Barka I helped develop the Master's program in historical archaeology at the College, and together we built the momentum for the doctoral program which began in 2001. Between 1982 and 2008 I directed the Department of Archaeological Research at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, which I built into the largest museum-based research program in historical archaeology in the world.
