Richard A. Krause
Richard A. Krause (PhD Yale, 1967) is an archaeologist with wide ranging theoretical and geographic interests. Krause has taught anthropology at The University of Nebraska, The Ohio State University, and the University of Missouri as well as The University of Alabama. He has conducted field research in the Great Plains of North America, Alaska, South Africa, Yucatán and the Southeastern United States. His primary interests include ethnoarchaeology, pottery manufacture and use from both ethnographic and archaeological perspectives, the articulation of mid-range theory with field and laboratory research and the epistemological precision of basic units of analysis, classification, and interpretation. He has also done ethnographic research among American Indians, and several South African Bantu speaking groups. Krause has a strong commitment to graduate student training as indicated by the field work conducted and the published papers and monographs coauthored with contemporary and former students. He prefers a tutorial approach to graduate study, an approach which emphasizes the critical rethinking of basic concepts and traditional views of field and laboratory research. In 1992 Krause was named a Distinguished Teaching Fellow of the College of Arts and Sciences.
Krause has served on the boards of directors of a number of scholarly associations, including the Plains Anthropological Society (1968-70: President 1971-72), the Council on Alabama Archaeology (1980-1990: President 1974-1980), and the Alabama Historical Commission (1982-1990). He has also been active in the Alpha Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa (member Executive Council, 1981-82 and President 1982-83). Prof. Krause served on the editorial board of the Journal of Mississippi Archaeology (1987-1992).
