The Life and Writings of Julio C. Tello: America's First Indigenous Archaeologist
“Self-billed as a mountain Indian, Julio C. Tello was arguably the greatest Native American social scientist of the twentieth century. Because he overcame obscure origins, secured an unprecedented education, and rose to national and international prominence, his life is an inspiring story with broad appeal. Tello’s embrace of anthropology and archaeology provides an enlightening contrast to current conditions in much of the New World, and thus his views have considerable contemporary resonance.”—Michael Moseley, University of Florida
