William A. Starna (born March 1943) is Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at the State University of New York at Oneonta. He has written and edited numerous books and journal articles about Iroquoian and Algonquian ethnohistory and archeology and related colonial history.^[1]^[2]^[3] Starna's interests include contemporary federal and state Indian policy.

Career

In 1982, Starna and archeologist Dean R. Snow began an extended archeological project in the Mohawk Valley of upstate New York. An outcome was the development of methods to determine Mohawk Indian population size over the period from 1630 to 1770.^[4]

Starna has written on approaches in archeology and produced technical reports on Native American history and culture for Indian tribes and museums.^[5] In 1986 he received a Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government Senior Fellowship to study land claims in New York,^[6] which involved the loss of Iroquois lands during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.^[7]
