Main interests

William H. Krieger is an American Philosopher of Science and Archaeologist. He serves as Chair of the Philosophy Department at the University of Rhode Island and is currently working as an archaeologist for the Tel es-Safi Excavations in Israel. His Philosophical and Archaeological work focuses on the interplay between scientific theory and practice.

Krieger received a BA in Biology from Columbia University (1991) as well as a BA (Honors) in Jewish Philosophy from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (1991), a MA and PhD in Philosophy, specializing in the Philosophy of Science and Archaeological Theory from the Claremont Graduate University (2003). He received field training in Archaeology at the Tel Miqne/Ekron Field School, Israel (1994).

In Philosophy, Krieger has written on topics including scientific explanation,[1] realism and antirealism,[2] the philosophy of technology (focusing on medical apps),[3] [4] the philosophy of archaeology, epistemic disunity,[5] theoretical problems specific to underwater archaeology,[6] on philosophical issues surrounding archaeological equity and justice,[7] and on the impacts archaeological claims have on religious ideology.[8] In service to the profession, he has been invited to give talks to industry about expanding thoughts about DEI to include culture, and he served as the Executive Secretary of HOPOS from 2007-2017.

In Archaeology, Krieger has participated in or led underwater and terrestrially based excavations throughout Israel since the 1990s, bringing students to engage these issues at sites including Tel Miqne/Ekron, Tel Harasim, Tell el-Far'ah South, Israel Coast Excavations (Akko), and the Tell es-Safi Excavations. In addition to field reports, he has written on archeological theory and methods,[9] and he has been an active contributor to discussions of artifact ownership and on ways to curb the archaeological black market.[10] He was a co-signatory to the 2010 Penn-Brock Statement[11] on Underwater Heritage.
