Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest
by Kenneth Honea
About the author
Kenneth Honea was an American archaeologist and anthropology professor whose published work focused on prehistoric cultures, especially in the American Southwest and Great Plains. Records from Project Gutenberg and the Digital Archaeological Record show that he wrote Early Man Projectile Points in the Southwest and later compiled Lithic Technology: An International Annotated Bibliography, 1725–1980.
His research centered on stone tools, projectile points, and Paleoindian archaeology. Titles associated with his work include studies of the Rio Grande region and reports on archaeological sites in Texas and New Mexico, showing a career devoted to careful fieldwork and the interpretation of early material culture.
A Northern Illinois University campus article also identifies Dr. Honea as an associate professor of anthropology, reflecting his role not only as a researcher but as a teacher and collector whose work continued to shape how ancient artifacts were studied and displayed.
