Frederick Webb Hodge

Frederick Webb Hodge (October 28, 1864 – September 28, 1956) was an American editor, anthropologist, archaeologist, and historian. Born in England, he immigrated at the age of seven with his family to Washington, DC. He was educated at American schools, and graduated from Cambridge College (now George Washington University).
He became very interested in Native American history and cultures, and worked for the Bureau of American Ethnology from 1905 to 1918. He collaborated with George Gustav Heye, who had been collecting Native American artifacts, and established the Heye Foundation to support archeological work. Heye founded the Museum of the American Indian in 1916 in New York, where Hodge later served as editor and assistant director. During his time at the Smithsonian, Hodge also conducted archeological expeditions and excavations at Nacoochee Mound in Georgia, and at Hawikuh, near Zuni Pueblo.

By 1901 Hodge worked as executive assistant in charge of International Exchanges at the Smithsonian Institution. In 1905 he transferred to the Bureau of American Ethnology, now part of the Smithsonian, where he worked on topics in anthropology and Native American culture until February 28, 1918.

These three men published a report on the mound excavations in 1918. It was the first scientific excavation in the state. The museum opened to the public in 1922.
Hodge directed excavations of the ruins of Hawikuh, near Zuni Pueblo, during the period 1917–23, with what was known as the Hendrick-Hodge Expedition.
