About the author
Born in 1893, he studied at the University of Michigan before earning both an M.A. and a Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard. Early in his career he worked with Alfred V. Kidder at Pecos, New Mexico, and went on to become known for archaeological and anthropological research in Middle America and the Philippines.
He is especially associated with the University of Michigan, where he was the first director of the Museum of Anthropology and later the first chair of the Department of Anthropology. University of Michigan sources also credit him with helping shape museum-based teaching and research there, making him an important figure in the institution’s growth.
Guthe died in 1974. He is remembered not only for his own scholarship, including work connected to Maya hieroglyphics and archaeology, but also for the collections, archives, and academic programs that outlasted him.
