Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest
by Kenneth Honea
About the author
Kenneth Honea was an American anthropologist and archaeologist whose work centered on early cultures in the American Southwest. Records from The Digital Archaeological Record show publications on archaeology, lithic technology, and Rio Grande research, and his booklet Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest was later made widely available through Project Gutenberg.
His career also reached beyond the Southwest. Fulbright Scholar Program listings show he received U.S. Scholar research grants to Romania in 1982–1983 and again in 1988–1989, reflecting an international research profile in anthropology.
Available records also connect him with teaching at Northern Illinois University, where he is described in later references as an anthropology professor or associate professor. While not every detail of his life is easy to confirm from the sources available online, the surviving record points to a scholar deeply engaged with archaeology, field research, and the study of ancient human lifeways.
