Barbara J. Price (1941 – February 18, 2016) was an American cultural anthropologist and teacher. She specialised in sociocultural anthropology, while also making theoretical contributions to archaeology. She co-authored the book Mesoamerica: The Evolution of a Civilization.
Price graduated from Swarthmore College in 1961 with a Bachelor of Arts with high honours in psychology.[1]
That same year she received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship,[1] and subsequently earned a PhD in anthropology at Columbia University.
Although Price made significant theoretical contributions to archaeology, she considered herself primarily a sociocultural anthropologist.
Her publications included the co-authored book Mesoamerica: The Evolution of a Civilization.[2] In the early 1970s, Price taught without tenure at Temple University, and later became an adjunct professor at Adelphi University, Queen’s College, City University of New York, and her alma mater, Columbia University.[3] As a specialist in socio-political evolution, ecological systems, and political economy, she went on to work as a visiting associate professor and eventually a Fulbright Professor at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).[3]
