Richard Deo Daugherty (1922-2014) was born and raised in Washington State. He earned his Ph.D. in anthropology at the University of Washington and joined the WSU Anthropology Department in 1950. He led excavation efforts at multiple significant archaeological sites in Washington, including Ozette, Lind Coulee, and Marmes.
