Notes
“John Pohl is an eminent authority on American Indian civilizations and has directed numerous archaeological excavations and surveys in Canada, the United States, México, and Central America as well as Europe. He is the author of several books on the ancient worlds of Mesoamerica including Exploring Mesoamerica (Oxford), The Aztec Warrior: 1325-1519 (Osprey), The Politics of Symbolism in the Mixtec Codices (Vanderbilt) and The Legend of Eight Deer (Oxford) which he also illustrated. Curator of the Art Museum at Princeton University, his unusual background in archaeology, art history, theater, and film production have taken him from museum exhibition design and development to writing, producing, designing, and directing feature and television productions. He is currently designing a new museum for the Mississippian archaeological park at Moundville, Alabama.”
