Brad Logan is an archaeologist specializing in Great Plains archaeology. A Research Associate Professor, he obtained his doctorate in anthropology with honors at the University of Kansas (1985) and his M.A. at the University of Nevada , Reno (1977). He has 35 years research experience in archaeology and has done field work in Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming, as well as southern France and lower Austria. From 1985 to 2003 he was Director of the Office of Archaeological Research, Museum of Anthropology at the University of Kansas and from 1998 to 2003 was Senior Curator at KUMA. He has conducted more than 40 major research projects in the Great Plains and Europe with support from the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Park Service, and Sigma Xi. His museum experience includes the curation of exhibits, direction of volunteer excavations, and many instances of public interaction through lectures, open houses, and workshops. He has been president of the Association of Professional Archaeologists of Kansas (2003-2006), book review editor for Plains Anthropologist (2005-2009), and on the Board of Directors of the Plains Anthropological Society (2009-2011).
Dr. Logan's teaching experience includes such courses as Introduction to Archaeology, Environment and Archaeology, North American Archaeology, and Laboratory Techniques in Archaeology. He has served on many doctoral and master's graduate committees. Since 1986, he has directed twelve seasons of the Kansas Archaeological Field School (KAFS), a summer research and educational endeavor. The KAFS focuses on his interest in prehistoric, ceramic-age (ca. AD 1-1500) cultures in the central Great Plains. His research reflects a broad interest in culture history and process, settlement-subsistence practices, spatial analysis , and environmental archaeology (geoarchaeology, zooarchaeology). Through his research projects, Dr. Logan provides KSU students with the opportunity to gain experience in archaeological field and laboratory work. He mentors students in the analysis of recovered data and the presentation of their results at conferences and in published articles.
In addition to more than 40 major technical reports, Dr. Logan has published articles in the Journal of Field Archaeology, Plains Anthropologist, Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology, Central Plains Archeology, The Kansas Anthropologist, The Missouri Archaeologist, The Wisconsin Archeologist, Current Research in the Pleistocene, and Ethnohistory.
