Autorenporträt
Cosmos Mindeleff, a noteworthy figure in the field of American archaeology and anthropology during the late 19th century, is remembered primarily for his contributions to the study and preservation of Native American ruins. His work often intersected with that of his brother, Victor Mindeleff, with whom he conducted several field surveys under the auspices of the Bureau of American Ethnology. His seminal work, 'Casa Grande Ruin' (1892), marked a significant advancement in the systematic study of ancient structures in the Southwestern United States. In this monograph, Mindeleff provides a meticulously detailed analysis of the Casa Grande Ruins in Arizona, reflecting his commitment to empirical fieldwork and architectural documentation. His literary style is characterized by precise descriptions and insightful observations underpinning a comparative approach to architecture. Mindeleff's work not only contributed to the burgeoning field of ethnology and archaeology but also influenced the way cultural heritage sites are documented and conserved. His dedication to the scientific method and cultural understanding has cemented his legacy as a pioneer in the documentation of America's ancient past.
