Basic Biographical Information
Vance Haynes’ (1928–) initial training was in rocketry, engineering, and economic geology. He first attended Johns Hopkins University (1947–1949) but earned a B.S. in Engineering Geology at the Colorado School of Mines (1956). An early interest in human prehistory led to work with North American archaeologists studying the earliest occupations on the continent (Paleo-Indian archaeology). He joined the geochronology program at the University of Arizona and earned a Ph.D. in Geology (1965). With the exception of 5 years at Southern Methodist University (1968–1974), his career has been in Geosciences and Anthropology at the University of Arizona. He technically retired in 1999 but has maintained his research, producing several of his more substantive publications in the 2000s, including a magnum opus on Murray Springs (University of Arizona Press, 2007).
