Thomas Dale Stewart (June 10, 1901 –

October 27, 1997) was a founder of modern forensic anthropology and

a major contributor to most areas of human skeletal biology, paleopathology, and related areas of physical anthropology. Stewart was known to have a more even

temperament than his mentor, Aleš Hrdlička. Stewart began his career in 1927 as an Aid to

Hrdlička in the Division of Physical Anthropology of the United States National

Museum at the Smithsonian Institution.

He advanced to Curator of the Division in 1942 and to Head Curator of the

Department of Anthropology in 1961. In 1963, he was appointed Director of

the National Museum of Natural

History and also served as Acting Assistant Secretary for

Science in 1964. He retired from administration in 1966 to pursue his research

as Senior Anthropologist. Upon his retirement in 1971, he was appointed

Anthropologist Emeritus.
