About the Author

Being an archaeologist was something Nancy Marie White wanted to do from

the time she learned how to spell the word as a kid. She was interested in

Native American cultures, outdoor adventure, and the romance of finding

ancient things and lost knowledge. After earning a BA in history, she went to

live in Mexico, where she saw that studying archaeology and the rest of

anthropology would lead to a fascinating life. She earned a PhD from Case

Western Reserve University in Cleveland (home of rock and roll), and is now

professor of anthropology at the University of South Florida, Tampa, and a

long-time member of the Register of Professional Archaeologists.

White’s research includes finding and sometimes excavating sites of all time

periods. She’s currently studying how late prehistoric agricultural societies

in the U.S. Southeast became complex and why they had no beer. She also

investigates campsites, villages, and mounds of earlier Native American

hunter-gatherers, fishers, and gardeners, and lost towns and forts inhabited

by historic Indians, European-Americans, and African-Americans. Her one kid,

Tony, spent an entire childhood camping in the woods and digging, and now

studies engineering. White tries to travel often in order to go somewhere dif-

ferent to visit archaeology. She really believes in public archaeology and the

potential of the distant past to show us a lot that might be useful in the mod-

ern world.
