Adolph Francis Alphonse Bandelier (1840–1914) was a Swiss-American archaeologist, ethnologist, and historian known for his extensive work in the American Southwest and Latin America. He initially trained in the historical study of Spanish colonial documents but transitioned into fieldwork under the guidance of anthropologist Lewis H. Morgan. Bandelier conducted significant archaeological excavations and studies among the Pueblo peoples of New Mexico, as well as in Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia. His notable works include 'The Delight Makers', a novel set among the Puebloans, and detailed reports on indigenous cultures. Bandelier’s work laid the foundation for future archaeological and ethnographic studies in the region.
