Paul E. Minnis

Paul E. Minnis (PhD, University of Michigan) is a professor emeritus of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma, now living in Tucson, Arizona, where he is a visiting scholar in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona. He conducts research on the prehispanic ethnobotany and archaeology of the northwest Mexico and the U.S. Southwest. Although he has worked throughout the region, his first intensive archaeological research in the area was on the ancient Mimbres tradition centered on southwestern New Mexico, and his primary field research since 1984 has focused on Paquimé and its regional setting in northwestern Chihuahua, Mexico. He has co-directed research projects in this area since 1989, and he has published extensively on ethnobotany. He is the author or editor of fourteen books and numerous articles. He has been president of the Society of Ethnobiology, treasurer and press editor for the Society for American Archaeology, co-founder of the Southwest Symposium, and co–vice president of the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society. He has received the E. K. Janaki Amal Medal and the Byron Cummings Award, and he was a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer.
