Dr. R. Christopher Goodwin "Chris"

Dr. R. Christopher "Chris" Goodwin passed away on February 18 at the age of 73. Dr. Goodwin was a dedicated scholar and practitioner of anthropology and archaeology, having graduated from Tulane University (B.A. Honors 1971), Florida State University (M.S. 1973), and Arizona State University (Ph.D. 1979). One of the nation's leading experts in cultural resources management, he was passionate about preserving the past, making it relevant for today, and shaping a better future.



After serving as a Research Associate at the Yale Peabody Museum and a Research Fellow at the United States National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Goodwin established R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. As its President and Chief Executive Officer for more than 40 years, he led hundreds of major cultural resource and archaeological investigations, including land-based and underwater projects throughout the United States and Caribbean. He was a respected author of more than 500 monographs and technical reports. His scholarly articles were featured in American Anthropologist, American Scientist, American Antiquity, Florida Anthropologist, and Revista Interamericana.



Chris was a longtime resident of the Washington, DC metropolitan area and a lifetime lover of New Orleans, Louisiana, the city where he launched his career and that he considered his second home, for its cuisine and music as well as its people and culture. Chris leaves behinds his wife of 43 years Cyd; his son Scott; his daughter Kristina and grandson Merlin. He was a beloved husband, father, and grandfather. He was a consummate storyteller, mentor, and friend. He will be sorely missed. Arrangements were handled by Hilton Funeral Home. For expressions of love and sympathy, please visit:
