Michael Brian Schiffer
Michael Brian Schiffer (born October 4, 1947) is an American archaeologist and one of the founders and pre-eminent exponents of behavioral archaeology. Schiffer's earliest ideas, set out in his 1976 book ''Behavioral Archeology'' and many journal articles, are mainly concerned with the formation processes of the archaeological record (cultural and noncultural).

In his 1972 ''American Antiquity'' article Schiffer, using flow models, explained that artifacts generally pass through numerous social contexts of procurement, manufacture, use, recycling and disposal and that the same kind of artifact can enter the archaeological record at many points thr ...
