Roscoe Wilmeth
Roscoe Hall Wilmeth (April 17, 1922 - August 19, 1981) was an American
archaeologist who was born in
St. Marys, Pennsylvania. His research was focused on the
protohistoric and historic period cultures in the
Southwest and
Great Plains regions of the
United States, and the province of
British Columbia in
Canada. Wilmeth's major areas of expertise included
Pueblo,
Navajo,
Kansa,
Pawnee,
Athabaskan and
Chilcotin cultures. Wilmeth played a major role in the creation of the state archaeologist position in
Kansas, was the first to occupy this position, and later went on to become a major contributor to Canadian
archaeology as an archaeologist for the
Canadian Museum of Civilization, formerly known as the National Museum of Man and which includes the
Archaeological Survey of Canada.
