The Klinsky Expeditions are a series of five archaeological field projects funded by a generous gift from businessman and University of Michigan alum Steve Klinsky. Stretching across Africa, Asia, and North America, these projects are led by faculty from U-M’s two archaeology museums—the Kelsey Museum and the Museum of Anthropological Archaeology.
