The University of New Mexico (UNM) is the flagship institution of higher learning in New Mexico and is classified as a "Research"
University. The main campus in Albuquerque has over 25,000 students. UNM has long been known for its Anthropology, which
is in keeping with New Mexico's wealth and diversity of archaeological sites, living cultures, and languages. Founded in 1928
by Edgar Lee Hewett, the Anthropology Department has about thirty faculty members, specializing and teaching in all the major
subfields of anthropology and doing research around the world. Its numerous students are also very active in many aspects
of archaeology, ethnology, biological and linguistic anthropology, and evolutionary ecology. The Editor and Editorial Board
of Journal of Anthropological Research are faculty members of the UNM Anthropology Department, while Associate
Editors are distinguished anthropologists at other institutions.
