Izumi Shimada is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale and 2007 Outstanding Scholar with research interests in the archaeology of complex pre-Hispanic cultures in the Andes, the technology and organization of craft production, mortuary analysis, experimental archaeology, the role of ideology and organized religion in cultural developments, and ecology-culture interaction. Born in Kyoto, Japan in 1948, Shimada moved at the age of 16 with his parents to the U.S. in 1964.
