My undergraduate education was at the University of Mississippi where I received a B.A. degree in 1964 with a major in Sociology and Anthropology and a minor in Spanish. After my Sophomore year, I spent the summer at the University of New Mexico's archaeological field school which was working across the river from San Juan Pueblo at the site of Onate's first settlement. After my Junior year, Pat Culbert invited me to work with him at Tikal where I dug "telephone booths".

My honorary memberships as an undergraduate included Phi Kappa Phi (Scholastic) and Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish).
