22-AUGUST-2008 06:13:22 - Alfred L. Kroeber Redirected from Alfred Kroeber Alfred L. Kroeber Alfred L. Kroeber with Ishi in 1911. Born June 11, 1876 Hoboken, New Jersey Died October 5, 1960 Education Columbia University Occupation Anthropologist Spouses 2 Theodora Kracaw Children Karl, Ursula, Ted, Clifton. Alfred Louis Kroeber June 11, 1876-October 5, 1960 was one of the most influential figures in American anthropology in the first half of the twentieth century. Kroeber was born in Hoboken, New Jersey and attended Columbia College at the age of 16, earning an A.B. in English in 1896, and an M.A. in Romantic drama in 1897. He received his doctorate under Franz Boas at Columbia University in 1901, basing his dissertation on decorative symbolism on his field work among the Arapaho. It was the first doctorate in anthropology awarded by Columbia. He spent most of his career in California, primarily at the University of California, Berkeley where he worked as both a Professor of Anthropology and the Director of what was then The University of California Museum of Anthropology now the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology. The anthropology department's headquarters building at the University of California is known as Kroeber Hall. He was associated with Berkeley until his retirement in 1946. Although he is known primarily as a cultural anthropologist, he did significant work in archaeology, and he contributed to anthropology by making connections between archaeology and culture. He conducted excavations in New Mexico, Mexico, and Peru. Kroeber and his students did important work collecting cultural data on western tribes of Native Americans. The work done in preserving information about California tribes appeared in Handbook of Indians of California 1925. These efforts to preserve remaining data on these tribes has been termed Salvage ethnography. He is cred with developing the concepts of Culture Area and Culture Configuration Cultural and Natural Areas of Native North America, 1939. His influence was so strong that many contemporaries adopted his style of beard and mustache as well as his views as a social scientist. During his lifetime, he was known as the Dean of American anthropologists. His anthropological paradigms have introduced the word Kroeberian into the English language. Kroeber and Roland Dixon were very influential in the genetic classification of Native American languages in North America, being responsible for groupings such as Penutian and Hokan. He is noted for working with Ishi, who was claimed though not uncontroversially to be the last California Yahi Indian. His second wife, Theodora Kroeber, wrote a well-known biography of Ishi, Ishi in Two Worlds. Kroeber's relationship with Ishi was made into a film The Last of His Tribe 1992, starring Jon Voigt as Kroeber. His textbook, Anthropology 1923, 1948, was widely used for years, and was one of ten books required for all students during their first year at Columbia in the late 1940s. Kroeber was father of the academic Karl Kroeber and the writer primarily of fantasy and science fiction Ursula K. Le Guin by his second wife, Theodora. He also adopted the two children of Theodora's first marriage, Ted and historian Clifton Kroeber. Clifton and Karl recently 2003 ed a book together on the Ishi case, Ishi in Three Centuries. This is the first scholarly book on Ishi to contain essays by Indians.
