Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Dale Ross Croes was born in 1947 in Fresno, California. He received his B.A. in Anthropology in 1969 from the University of Washington. He then received his M.A. in 1972 and his Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1977, both from Washington State University (WSU). He completed his Ph.D. dissertation research on basketry and cordage artifacts from the Ozette Village wet site and conducted post-doctoral research in collaboration with the Makah Tribal Nation at the Hoko River wet site and Hoko Rockshelter shell midden. In addition, Dr. Croes collaborated with the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs to direct archaeological excavations at the National Historic Landmark wet site of Sunken Village and with the Squaxin Island Tribe to excavate the Qwu?gwes wet and dry sites. Dr. Croes is currently an adjunct professor in Anthropology at Washington State University and director of the Pacific Northwest Archaeological Society and Services.
