Field Man is the captivating memoir of renowned southwestern archaeologist Julian Dodge Hayden, a man who held no professional degree or faculty position but who camped and argued with a whos who of the discipline, including Emil Haury, Malcolm Rogers, Paul Ezell, and Norman Tindale. This is the personal story of a bluecollar scholar who bucked the conventional thinking on the antiquity of man in the New World, who brought a formidable pragmatism and hand sense to the identification of stone tools, and who is remembered as the leading authority on the prehistory of the Sierra Pinacate in northwestern Mexico.But Field Man is also an evocative recollection of a bygone time and place, a time when archaeological trips to the Southwest were expeditions, when a man might run a Civilian Conservation Corps crew by day and study the artifacts of ancient peoples by night, when one could honeymoon by a stillfull Gila River, and when a Model T pickup needed extra transmissions to tackle the back roads of Arizona.To say that Julian Hayden led an eventful life would be an understatement. He accompanied his father, a Harvardtrained archaeologist, on influential excavations, became a crew chief in his own right, taught himself silversmithing, married a city girl, helped build the Yuma Air Field, worked as a civilian safety officer, and was a friend and mentor to countless students. He also crossed paths with leading figures in other fields. Barry Goldwater and even Frank Lloyd Wright turn up in this wideranging narrative of a desert rat who was at once a throwback andas he only halfjokingly suggestsahead of his time.Field Man is the product of years of interviews with Hayden conducted by his colleagues and friends Bill Broyles and Diane Boyer. It is introduced by noted southwestern anthropologist J. Jefferson Reid, and contains an epilogue by Steve Hayden, one of Julians sons.
