ABOUT HISTORIC INSIGHT OWNER, ERICH OBERMAYR

Historic Insight’s owner and lead author, Erich Obermayr, is particularly qualified to bridge the gap between studying history and archaeology and sharing this knowledge with the public.

Erich holds a Bachelor of Arts degree (with honors) from the University of Arizona, with a double major in Anthropology and Creative Writing.

His archaeological career began in 1965, and he has since then participated in scores of projects—as everything from field worker to project director. Along with countless technical reports, Erich has authored works of fiction and numerous newspaper and magazine articles. He recently completed several well-received booklets and web publications on Nevada transportation history, fulfilling mitigation requirements for a number of major cultural resource management projects.
