Emil Haury

A pre-eminent southwestern archeologist, Dr. Haury served MNA as a Board of Trustee member from 1939 to 1982. He had first worked with MNA during the tree-ring dating studies with MNA assistant director Lyndon Hargrave and Dr. Andrew Douglass. His career included positions as Assistant Director of Gila Pueblo Foundation, Director of the Arizona State Museum, and Head of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. He wrote prolifically and many of his publications are considered classics today. His main subjects of interest were the prehistory and archaeology of the southwest.
