Fellows with broader, independently useful nodes remain linked in the roster above. - **Anthony Aveni** — anthropologist and archaeoastronomer; Colgate professor emeritus whose work helped establish archaeoastronomy through studies of Mesoamerican calendars, architecture, sky knowledge, and cultural astronomy.
