73. SAA Bulletin 16(2): Moreau Sanford Maxwell, 1918-1998
    Obituary published in the Society for american Archaeology newsletter. While Arctic research was his forte, Maxwell periodically returned to midwestern research at Fort Michilimackinac and other sites, pioneering anthropologically oriented historical archaeology.  
    http://www.saa.org/publications/saabulletin/16-2/SAA9.html
    
    Extractions: Moreau Sanford Maxwell (Max), emeritus professor and curator of Anthropology at Michigan State University, died January 30, 1998, after a short struggle with cancer. An intrepid field archaeologist and a consummate teacher, Max's legacy remains indelibly imprinted on all who knew him. From 1952 to 1957 Max worked for the U.S. Air Force Arctic, Desert, and Tropical Information Center, where his effort was primarily devoted to arctic projects. He engaged in Defense Early Warning (DEW) system siting as a member of the U.S. Air Force Eclipse Project, and as assistant project officer of the DEW Line Ice Survey Team. He traveled by dogsled with Inuit guides, assessing ice at landing strip locations for DEW Line construction, and observed archaeological evidence of pre-Dorset and Dorset occupation in the high arctic. In 1957 Maxwell joined the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the museum at Michigan State University. He became the first curator of anthropology, and first chair of the independent Department of Anthropology, applying his administrative skills to build a new department. Maxwell's arctic research began in 1958. As a member of a Defense Research Board group participating in Canada's International Geophysical Year, he surveyed the Lake Hazen vicinity on Ellesmere Island. Max then spent over 15 seasons in the arctic applying ecological and ethnoarchaeological approaches to the prehistory of Baffin Island, and received a Fulbright Foundation Fellowship to the National Museum of Denmark. He subsequently emerged as a dominant synthesizer of eastern arctic archaeology. While arctic research was his forte, Maxwell periodically returned to midwestern research at Fort Michilimackinac and other sites, pioneering anthropologically oriented historical archaeology.
