Aron L. Crowell, Ph.D., Anchorage Director/Archaeologist Aron L. Crowell is the director of Arctic Studies Center's Alaska office in Anchorage, where he is responsible for Smithsonian research, exhibition, and education programs. His interests in the anthropology and history of the North Pacific led to a co-curatorial role in the original Crossroads of Continents exhibition in 1988, and to archaeological projects in many parts of Alaska including St. Lawrence Island, Kodiak Island, the Alaska Peninsula, Yakutat, and Glacier Bay. His excavation and analysis of the early Russian fur trade post at Three Saints Harbor, Kodiak Island will be published by Plenum Press in 1997 as Archaeology of the Capitalist World System: A Study from Russian America. |

Crowell is currently directing Looking Both Ways, a collaborative research and exhibition project on the Alutiiq culture of southern Alaska, in partnership with the Alutiiq Museum in Kodiak. He is the principal investigator for an ongoing interdisciplinary study of maritime adaptations, population growth, coastal geodynamics, and environmental change in the Gulf of Alaska, in collaboration with the National Park Service. Crowell teaches distance delivery museum studies courses and museum anthropology for the University of Alaska, and works with Alaska Native organizations to further the development of tribal museums and cultural centers.
