From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An archaeologist who discovered Tell Leilan, currently teaches at Yale University as well as attending his dig at Tell Leilan during the summers. His major contribution to the Archaeological Anthropological field has been his theories that certain major climate changes have done much to bring about the genesis and collapse of civilizations, such as the drought 4,200 years before present that he believes brought about the fall of the Akkadian Empire.
