	Alfred Kroeber
		Alfred Kroeber was born on June 11, 1876 in Hoboken, New Jersey.
		Kroeber felt that it was vital to understand the monuments in a context linked with the smaller artifacts to form an entire picture of the remnants of a given culture.
		Doing the archaeological field work, Kroeber developed a series of accurate methods for excavating sites and developed a means of using seriation, defining relative age by looking at the depth of the find and classified pottery sherds in the field during his work on the Zuni.

		Published in cooperation with The Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois When Alfred Kroeber left Lima, Peru for the ruins of the Nazca region in July 1926, he could have had no inkling of the importance of what he would uncover.
		Kroeber's report contains what is still the only complete analysis and seriation of the beautiful painted pottery of Nazca, complete with over 400 photographs and drawings of objects uncovered in the excavations, some in full color.
		With careful editing by Collier and Carmichael, Kroeber's work is far ahead of its time methodologically and is still an important source document for contemporary archaeology and art history of South America.

		Boas introduced or called attention to several concepts that became important in American anthropology, such as "understanding" culture, cultural relativism, langauge as a model for culture, the importance of ideas and emotions as expressed by the individual, and others.
		We will look at how these concepts were creatively developed by other anthro- pologists such as Kroeber and Sapir.
		We will also see how Kroeber in particular attempted to broaden the scope of anthropological concep- tualization.
