Dr. Thomas E. Durbin

Professor of Anthropology &
Director of the Institute for Cultural Resources

Thomas E. Durbin received his B.A. in anthropology from U.C. Berkeley in 1964 and an M.A. (1966) and a Ph.D. in anthropology (1970) from U.C.L.A. During the 1950s and '60s he conducted research in California archaeology, Mesoamerican archaeology and ethnohistory and from the 1970s through the present he has pursued research in Mesoamerican ethnology (economic anthropology) and Polynesian (Hawaiian/Kauaiian) archaeology and ethnohistory. He is presently most involved in developing a WEB page-based data base or synthesis of a longitudinal study of the Valley of Toluca (central Mexico) reflecting his work in that area since 1966. Further similar work is planned considering data from Kauaiian studies since 1973.

A faculty member at C.S.U., Stanislaus since 1970, Dr. Durbin is presently Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Institute for Cultural Resources. His affiliations include Fellow of the American Anthropological Association, American Research Center in Egypt, Archaeological Institute of America, Egypt Exploration Society, Fellow of the Explorers Club of America, Mechanics Institute Library Life Member, and Register of Professional Archaeologists.
