Information trouvée : décès 2004 : Alexander Marshack, a self-taught anthropological researcher who first
interpreted certain Stone Age artifacts as primitive calendars, advancing the notion
that prehistoric man was more inventive than previously thought, and who and lived
in Manhattan, New York, died on December 20, 2004, at the Jewish Home and Hospital
in Manhattan, at the age of 86. Though Mr. Marshack was a journalist by training,
his work earned him a position as a research associate at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology
and Ethnology at Harvard in 1963, and his maverick findings attracted widespread interest
when they were published in Science in November 1964. Mr. Marshack was born in the
Bronx on April 4, 1918
