Dr. Christy Turner II, passed away this past weekend at 79 at his home in Tempe. His decades of ground breaking research in multiple fields are known to anthropologists, physical anthropologists, and archaeologists all over the world. His sharp wit, sense of humor, and high professional standards will be missed. Arrangements are pending.

Good article. Thanks for sharing. I would say his ideas were pretty well accepted now, in general, if not in the particulars. I believe the new exhibits at Mesa Verde acknowledge the practice of cannibalism by the locals, although it certainly isn't emphasized. Just a part of the greater picture of the Anasazi.
