Doug Price (PhD 1975 University of Michigan) is Weinstein Professor of European Archaeology and Director of the Laboratory for Archaeological Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he has served on the faculty for more than 30 years. His current field research involves projects concerned with the beginnings of agriculture on the island of Zealand, Denmark. A second area of study involves investigations using strontium isotopes in human tooth enamel to look at questions of prehistoric migration. Major projects along these lines are focused in Central America, the North Atlantic, and Central Europe. The Laboratory is also involved in the chemical analysis of ceramics, bone, soils, and other archaeological materials. He is the author or editor of more than 140 articles and 12 books, the most recent of which include Excavations at Smakkerup Huse (with Anne Birgitte Gebauer, 2005), Principles of Archaeology (2006), and Images of the Past 6e (with Gary Feinman 2010).
