Peter Bungart

Peter has over 24 years of experience as an archaeologist in Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico. He holds a Master's degree in Anthropology from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Prior to establishing Circa Cultural Consulting, he was a Supervisory Archaeologist for the Navajo Nation Archaeology Department at their Nothern Arizona University Branch Office (NNAD-NAU). As a Project Director for NNAD-NAU, he conducted two large-scale projects, including the Navajo Transmission Project (NTP) transmission line survey between Page, Arizona and Shiprock, New Mexico and a multi-phase testing and excavation program along Navajo Route 21 between Kaibito and Tonalea, Arizona.

Peter has also served for many years as a Consultant Anthropologist to the Hualapai Tribe in Peach Springs, Arizona. Besides numerous archaeological surveys, he participated on Colorado River trips through the Grand Canyon for the purpose of interpreting archaeological and historic sites of interest to tribal members, and interviewed tribal elders and other trip participants regarding knowledge and perceptions of the river. This work culminated in the production of a multimedia CD-ROM entitled Hualbay Madt'Wi: Winyigach Hak'ama (Grandfather River, Where our People Walked), which portrays tribal concerns for the river and promotes awareness of their ancestral connection to the Grand Canyon to the Peach Springs community.

Peter has also worked as an archaeologist for the National Park Service in Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Wupatki National Monument, and Walnut Canyon National Monument in Arizona. He was a crew chief on the historic survey of the Colorado River corridor through the Grand Canyon.
