Keith Kintigh is professor emeritus of anthropology in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (formerly, Department of Anthropology) at Arizona State University, where taught from e 1987 through 2019. He was associate director of the School and co-director of ASU's Center for Archaeology and Society. His field research focuses on the political and social organization of ancestral Pueblo societies in the Cíbola (Zuni) area of west-central New Mexico, although he has also worked in Morocco and Peru. He has led a team of archaeologists and computer and information scientists in establishing Digital Antiquity, a collaborative organization devoted to enhancing preservation and access to the digital records of archaeological investigations, and in developing tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record), a digital repository for the documents and data produced by archaeological research. With Jeffrey Altschul, he established the Coalition for Archaeological Synthesis, a coalition of organizations and individuals committed to promoting synthesis in archaeology to advance science and benefit society. Kintigh is a past president of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA; 1999-2001). In various capacities for SAA, he has worked extensively on national law and policy regarding the repatriation of Native American human remains. Kintigh earned a bachelor's in sociology and a master's in computer science at Stanford University in 1974 and a doctorate in anthropology at the University of Michigan in 1982.

Area of Expertise : Archaeology
Theoretical and Methodological Interests : Data Integration, Synthesis, and Digital Archiving; Middle-range Societies; Political Organization; Quantitative Analysis of Archaeological Data; Spatial Analysis
Areal Focus : Southwestern U.S., Cibola/Zuni Region
Keith Kintigh's career-long commitment to understanding political organization in middle-range societies has focused on the Cíbola area along the Arizona-New Mexico border near Zuni Pueblo. This constitutes most of the independent field work he has undertaken (with graduate students) over the last 30 years and continues to be a major focus of his independent research effort. In addition to extensive excavation, Kintigh and his team have surveyed on the order of 100km² and recorded more than 900 archaeological sites in the area. In years past, he also engaged in extended fieldwork in Morocco and Peru.
Over the last several years Kintigh’s research efforts have increasingly turned to the development of digital research infrastructure for archaeology. This work aims not only preserve and make more accessible archival data sets, but—through an ability to integrate data across projects—has the potential to transform the scholarly landscape for synthetic and comparative research. He has led a team of archaeologists and computer and information scientists in establishing Digital Antiquity, a collaborative organization devoted to enhancing preservation and access to the digital records of archaeological investigations, and in developing tDAR (the Digital Archaeological Record), a digital repository for the documents and data produced by archaeological research. Since 2004, this effort has garnered more than $4.3 million in 9 external grants for which Kintigh is or was PI or Co-PI.
More broadly, Kintigh has long published on the development and use of quantitative and formal methods in archaeology. He has had particular interest in the spatial analysis and the analysis of archaeological diversity
Kintigh was an active member of a transdisciplinary team led by Margaret Nelson that, with NSF support, worked to understand vulnerability and transformation in coupled socio-ecological systems through a synthesis of data from several prehistoric cases in the Southwest U.S. and northern Mexico. Zuni is a key case study in this effort, and the collaborative project contributed importantly to progress on his Cíbola research. Recently, this effort en expanded to include comparative cases in the North Atlantic, a extreme environment that contrasts usefully with the Southwest.

Teaching Statement
Kintigh’s classroom teaching includes Southwestern archaeology at undergraduate and graduate levels. At the graduate level he has taught a range of courses, most recently concentrated on quantitative topics.
Though he enthusiastically taughtboth undergraduate and graduate courses, Kintigh's greatest investment of time in teaching is in one-on-one contact with graduate students. He has enjoyed and benefited from working closely both with graduate students who are working on topics near to his research interests and those much more distant. It has been rewarding to see students who have worked with him enjoy notable success. He has chaired or co-chaired 14 completed PhD committees. Ten students whose PhD committees he has chaired or co-chaired have received National Science Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants. Four of the graduate students whose committee he has chaired or co-chaired, and an additional three students on whose committee he served, have won the Society for American Archaeology’s Dissertation Award in an annual, national competition. In 2004 Kintigh was honored to receive ASU’s Outstanding Graduate Mentor award.

Kintigh is a past president, secretary, and board member of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA), the nation's leading professional organization of Americanist archaeologists. On behalf of the Society he helped negotiate the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act of 1990 and has frequently represented scientific perspectives on the repatriation of Native American human remains, including testimony before both US Senate and House committees. He has been vice president and secretary of the Union Internationale des Sciences Préhistoriques et Protohistoriques, Commission 4: Data Management and Mathematical Methods in Archaeology. He has served on review panels for the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Wenner Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. He serves on the Board of Directors of the SRI Foundation and ASU's Center for Digital Antiquity. Kintigh Served as Associate Director of SHESC for 8 years.
