Lewis Roberts Binford (born 1930) is an American archaeologist, known as the leader of the "New Archaeology[?]" movement of the 1960s.
Binford's contribution to archaeology was as much on the theoretical as on the practical side.
He advocated the concept of processualism, which argued that no site could be truly understood without an understanding of how it had been created, the corollary being that any excavation or archaeological investigation should begin with a theory against which the evidence could be tested.
