Thomas Francis Lynch (February 25, 1938 - May 25, 2023)[1][2] was an American anthropological archaeologist and scholar of Latin American archaeology. He is noted for his excavation of Guitarrero Cave, a site which yielded the earliest evidence for domesticated beans[3].
Lynch was born in 1938 in Saint Paul, Minnesota.[1] He studied anthropology at Cornell University and received his B.A. in 1960. He earned an M.A. in anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1962, based on his thesis titled Upper Palaeolithic in France [1]. He continued on to completed his Ph.D. in 1967, under the supervision of Robert J. Braidwood [1]. Lynch was a professor in the department of Anthropology at Cornell University from 1964 until his retirement in 1993[1]. He then became the executive director of the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History in Bryan, Texas, until retiring in 2008[1].
