Anthony teaches prehistory at Hartwick College where he also is the curator of the anthropology collections at the Yeager Museum and the director of the Institute for Ancient Equestrian Studies. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985. Although perhaps best known for his work on the Eurasian steppes with horses and cultures, he has published some very influential articles on archaeology and the study of migrations. He also is the author of a recent (2007) book examining the influence of migration on the origins of the Indo-European protolanguage: The Horse, the Wheel, and Language: How Bronze Age Riders from the Eurasian Steppes Shaped the Modern World.
