William C. Sturtevant (1926-2007)

Warm wishes and heartfelt condolences to the many, many visitors who have come to remember our colleague William Sturtevant and to mark his passing. In addition to the biographical sketch that I posted here on Sunday, there is now a more detailed biographical essay by William Merrill (also originally published in 2002) that can be found online here. The American Anthropological Association has republished the essay given below on its website (here). Please feel encouraged to leave appropriate additions to the essay using the comments function.
