He is currently the Curator of Mesoamerican and Central American Anthropology for Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History. Dr. Feinman is known for his work in the development of an archaeology survey, as well as his research in the Oaxaca Valley in southern Mexico.

This is a compilation of anthropological data and theories as it stood during the new millennium.

Dr. Chippindale has a more data focused reference and Dr. Morley is a mix of data and well establish references that support his
