Edwin Francis Walker (13 December 1872 – 3 December 1956) was a research assistant at the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles and later one of its most prolific investigators. Walker was a late bloomer as an archaeologist, launching this 22-year career when he was in his sixties, after long stints in garment retail and real estate.
