Stephen G. Granger, was taught to be a professional archaeologist, by Greg Perino. Granger, like Perino, is considered one of the foremost experts on Native American Artifacts and Cultures.

Early life and career Originally from a small town in Louisiana, Granger started exploring the Calcasieu River as a teenager. His fascination with the past and his innate ability to understand what he was finding, led him into the field of Archaeology. With education from LSU, Kilgore, and Texas A&M, Granger began his studies as a student of Greg Perino. After 25+ years of study under Perino, Granger began his role as a United States Archaeological Consultant.

Granger is perhaps best known for his role in the three books that he helped Greg Perino write on North American Projectile Typology. Granger aided Perino in the three book series, Selected Preforms, Points and Knives Of The North American Indians, vol., 1, 2 & 3. Granger owns the copyrights of all three books and all of the “Points & Barbs” articles.
