Abstract: As part of the initial data gathering of the Society for American Archaeology's Committee on the History of Archaeology,Andrew Christenson has begun a database (dBase 111+) of significant Americanist archaeologists.Included are the names, dates, nationalities, and location of archival materials for 584 archaeologists who work or worked in the New World.Most of these people are listed in Willey and Sabloffs A History of American Archaeology (2nd edition, 1980).The list provides a minimum sample of archaeologists whose work should be documented in archival collections.The database needs to be expanded to include a wider range of archaeologists, both professional and amateur, especially ones who are retired or near retirement and whose personal papers are not yet in public repositories.
