ABOUT GARY'S WORK
Gary Urton is a scholar who merges ethnography, ethnohistory, and ethnoscience in the study of ancient Andean culture.

Fluent in Quechua, Urton has made important contributions to a wide range of perplexing issues in Incan mythology, Andean astronomy and cosmology, and the Incan system and philosophy of numerical values and relations.  He is now working on unraveling the mystery of khipus (knotted mnemonic Andean devices).  These record-keeping instruments were of central importance to the development of the Inca State, but remain largely undeciphered.  In total, Urton’s work provides new perspectives on human intelligence and illuminates different ways of thinking about and organizing the world.  He is the author of many journal articles and books, including The History of a Myth: Pacariqfambo and the Origin of the Inkas (1990), The Social Life of Numbers (1997), and Inca Myths (1999).

BIOGRAPHY
Urton is the Dumbarton Oaks Professor of Pre-Columbian Studies in the Department of Anthropology at Harvard University.  He served previously as a professor of anthropology at Colgate University (1978-2002), where he was also the director of the Division of Social Sciences.

Urton received a B.A. (1969) from the University of New Mexico and an M.A. (1971) and a Ph.D. (1979) from the University of Illinois.

RECENT NEWS
In June 2020, Harvard University removed Urton from his position as director of undergraduate studies in the Department of Anthropology and placed him on leave. In June 2021, Urton was stripped of his emeritus status following an internal sexual harassment investigation.

关于加里的工作
加里-乌尔通是一位在安第斯古文化研究中融合了民族学、民族史和民族科学的学者。

Urton精通克丘亚语,对印加神话、安第斯天文学和宇宙学以及印加数值和关系的系统和哲学中广泛的令人困惑的问题做出了重要贡献。 他现在正致力于揭开khipus(打结的安第斯记忆装置)之谜。 这些记录工具对印加国家的发展具有核心意义,但在很大程度上仍未被破译。 总的来说,尤顿的工作提供了关于人类智慧的新视角,并阐明了思考和组织世界的不同方式。 他是许多期刊文章和书籍的作者,包括《一个神话的历史:帕卡里克凡博和因卡人的起源》(1990)、《数字的社会生活》(1997)和《印加神话》(1999)。
