Obituary: WORLD RENOWNED SMU ARCHAEOLOGIST FRED WENDORF HAS DIED DALLAS (SMU) - Noted archaeologist Fred Wendorf, credited with contributing more than any other individual to our understanding of early human life in northeast Africa, died in Dallas , 15, following a long illness. He was 90. Wendorfs career as a field archaeologist on two continents spanned six decades and left an unsurpassed record of seminal discoveries in both Africa and the American Southwest. Wendorf spent four decades on the faculty of Southern Methodist University, retiring in 2003 as the Henderson-Morrison Professor of Prehistory Emeritus. Wendorf was born on 31, 1924, in Terrell, Texas, and as a teenager developed a keen interest in archaeology while roaming the fields of Kaufman in search of Native American artifacts. He began studying anthropology at the University of Arizona in 1942, but suspended his study the following year to report for active duty in World War II. Commissioned as a second lieutenant, he was assigned as a rifle platoon leader with the 86th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Armys 10th Mountain Division. He was severely wounded while leading his platoon in an assault on the Nazi line in the Apennine Mountains of northern Italy. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals and spent the next two years recovering in Army hospitals. Wendorf returned to the University of Arizona to earn his B.A. in anthropology in 1948, followed by a Ph.D. degree from Harvard University in 1953. In the early 1950s, he directed the worlds first pipeline archaeology salvage project during construction of a natural gas pipeline in New Mexico. He also conducted archaeological salvage projects on highways in New Mexico and later contributed wording to federal highway legislation requiring site excavations during construction. In 1954 Wendorfs excavation of the so-called Midland Man site in the sand hills near Midland, Texas, was his first archaeological milestone, achieved when he was 29 years old. This Late Pleistocene human burial was at the time one of the oldest human remains to be found in the Americas. In the mid 1950s, Wendorf received the first of what would be several dozen National Science Foundation research grants, this initial one for a study of the late glacial archaeology and paleoecology of the High Plains of western Texas and eastern New Mexico. It was an important interdisciplinary scientific project that brought together American and European scientists. While working as an archaeologist for the Museum of New Mexico, Wendorf was enlisted in 1956 to locate the long-abandoned pre-Civil War Cantonment Burgwin of the U.S. First Dragoons near Taos. He not only found the buried ruins of the fort, but also supervised its painstaking excavation and reconstruction as an academic campus. He also began excavations at Pot Creek Pueblo, the ancestral home of both Picuris and Taos Pueblos, located near the fort. This activity led to establishment of the Fort Burgwin Research , with Wendorf as its director. Also in 1956 he joined the anthropology faculty at Texas Tech University and held the first summer archaeological field school at the fort under the auspices of Texas Tech. In 1958 he returned to Santa Fe as associate director of the Museum of New Mexico. In 1964 SMU recruited Wendorf to establish its Anthropology Department, now one of the Universitys strongest departments, offering degrees from bachelors to Ph.D. In addition to his SMU teaching responsibilities, Wendorf continued his activities at the Fort Burgwin Research , which merged with SMU in 1968. SMU began acquiring the Fort Burgwin property in 1964 and added facilities to accommodate students for summer classes beginning in 1973. Through the years, SMU has added land and facilities for what has become SMU-in-Taos, today including 423 acres with 33 buildings, nestled in the Carson National Forest of Northern New Mexico. SMU-in-Taos now offers credit courses in the natural and social sciences, humanities, arts and business and an annual archaeology field school. The annual Taos Cultural Institute provides a summer weekend of informal classes for adults taught by SMU faculty members. In 2004 the Fred Wendorf Information Commons, a state-of-the art computer facility and library, was dedicated on the Taos campus in honor of Wendorf. Fred Wendorf had a global impact on the field of archaeology and an extraordinary impact on the University where he served for four decades, said SMU President R. Gerald Turner. We are indebted to Fred for bringing his expertise to SMU in 1964 to establish the Universitys Anthropology Department and for the international significance of his ongoing archaeological research in regions ranging from the American Southwest to northeast Africa. We also are grateful to Fred for his vision and personal involvement in the Universitys acquisition of the Fort Burgwin property and the development there of SMU-in-Taos, a unique campus offering students opportunities for study and research enhanced by the regions distinctive mix of cultures and rich natural resources. Beyond his archaeology fieldwork in the American Southwest, Wendorf was involved in the protection of historical shipwrecks. His investigation of a Spanish shipwreck off the coast of Texas ultimately led to the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987, an important law protecting historical shipwrecks in U.S. waters. Blending public activities with his scientific investigations, Wendorf was a sustained and committed advocate for the preservation of archaeological sites and collections for future generations of scientists and for humanity more generally. By the time Wendorf joined SMU in 1964, his primary archaeological interest had begun to switch from the American Southwest to northeast Africa. In the early 1960s, archaeological monuments in Lower Nubia were threatened with obliteration from construction of the Aswan High Dam in the Nile River Valley of Egypt. UNESCO launched an international salvage operation in an effort to save the regions rich archaeological heritage. In response to the UNESCO appeal, in 1962 Wendorf invited teams of scientists from Great Britain, continued... |
