Wesley Bernardini
Bernardini is currently at the University of the Redlands. A recent (2002) Ph.D graduate of Arizona State University his research focuses on American southwest prehistory, identity and cultural affiliation, and scalar aspects of social organization. His research which resulted in the book Hopi Oral Tradition and the Archaeology of Identity (2005) examined how oral traditions of migration can be evaluated archaeologically. Although a relative newcomer, his studies of migration and identity represent a valuable contribution.
