Dave Phillips is retired from the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico. Formerly he served as the museum's curator of archaeology and acting director. Born and raised in Latin America, he has been involved in archaeology for over half a century, including 22 years in CRM. His 1979 dissertation on Postclassic Maya artifacts was based on fieldwork on the island of Cozumel. Most of his fieldwork took place in Arizona and New Mexico but he has also worked elsewhere in the U.S. and in Chihuahua, Mexico.
