Paul Sidney Martin (born November 22, 1898[1] in Chicago – died January 20, 1974[2]) was an American anthropologist and archaeologist. A lifelong associate of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Martin studied pre-Columbian cultures of the Southwestern United States. He excavated more than a hundred archaeological sites,[3] starting with the groundbreaking seven-season expedition to the Montezuma County, Colorado in 1930–1938.[4] His research passed through three distinct stages: field archaeology of the Anasazi Pueblo cultures of Colorado in the 1930s, studies of the Mogollon culture in 1939–1955 and the New Archaeology studies in 1956–1972.[5] Martin collected more than 585 thousand archaeological artifacts[5] although his own methods of handling these relics were at times destructive and unacceptable even by the standards of his time.[6]

Martin was elected President of the Society for American Archaeology and awarded the 1968 Alfred Vincent Kidder Award of the American Anthropological Association.[7][8] He trained over fifty professional archaeologists and published more than 200 academic and popular papers.[5] Martin's field expeditions redefined the role of museum anthropologists from the search for exhibits to research-driven field studies.[7]
