Dr. Gary M. Feinman, Ph.D.

Curator of Mesoamerican Archaeology and Ethnology, The Field Museum

Dr. Gary Feinman has conducted archaeological field research in Oaxaca, Mexico, for 30 years. He has led regional settlement pattern surveys in the Valley of Oaxaca and several smaller, neighboring valleys and directed excavation of Classic period (A.D. 200-800) houses at two sites. Since 1995, he also has been part of a collaborative team of North American and Chinese scholars studying the Late Neolithic through Han periods in Shandong, China. This research has helped pioneer archaeological survey in North China.

Gary Feinman’s major research is focused on complex human societies – how and why they arose, the different ways they were organized and changed over time, and how the economies of these ancient social formations were organized.
