James N. Hill

James Newlin Hill (1934–1997) was a prominent processualist archaeologist (a student of Lewis Binford).

Hill did most of his work in the American South West, published several papers on the Broken K Pueblo, Arizona. This study in particular has been described as "a classic example of how social organization may be reflected in the architectural segregation of pottery styles" (Sackett 1997). He believed that culture could (and perhaps should) be inferred from archaeological data.
