Dr. Uhle, who is an honorary fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute, has a world-wide reputation as one of the foremost authorities onSouth American archaeology. During a residence there of many years he explored a large number of prehistoric sites in Peru, some of his work in the field being supported by grants from the Phoebe B.
