His pioneering work demonstrated thousands of years of human land use in the central Brooks Range. His studies underscored the need for archeological research in Interior Alaska, in addition to coastal regions, in order to provide a holistic understanding of the development of high-latitude human adaptations. Campbell also conducted ethnographic research in Alaska. His research along Alaska’s Copper River drain-age led to the publication of three volumes describing the environment, settlement patterns, and social structure of the Ahtna people.
