Claude Nelson Warren (March 18, 1932 – November 4, 2021) was a California Desert anthropologist and specialist in early humans in the Far West and was instrumental in defining the San Dieguito and La Jolla cultural complexes. His Ph.D. dissertation proved that Native Americans lived in the San Diego coastal area 10,000 years ago, much earlier than previously thought.[1] He also had an interest in the history of anthropology.
He was a distinguished professor emeritus in Anthropology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.[2]
He was married to Elizabeth von Till Warren until her death. They had four children: Claude Jr., Susan, Louis, and Jonathan.[3]
His papers are available at Special Collections, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.[4]
