A.L. Kroeber

Alfred Kroeber (1876 - 1960) was an anthropologist at the University of California, Berkeley (where the Anthropology Department building is now named Kroeber Hall). He contributed to the field in making connections between archaeology and culture. He is noted for working with Ishi, who was claimed (though not uncontroversially) to be the last California Yahi[?] Indian.

He was married to Theodora Kroeber[?] and is the father of popular science fiction writer Ursula K. Le Guin.
