He and his wife, anthropologist Betty Meggers, collaborated on more than 100 scientific articles and monographs.  Dr. Evans was honored with the Washington Academy of Sciences Award for Scientific Achievement, the 37th International Congress of Americanists Gold Medal and the Order of Merit from the Government of Ecuador.
