Peter Bogucki (pronounced bow-good'-ski) is Associate Dean for Undergraduate Affairs at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University, where he had previously served as Director of Studies of Forbes College. He received his B.A. (1974) from the University of Pennsylvania and his A.M. (1977) and Ph.D. (1981) in anthropology from Harvard University.

As associate dean for undergraduate affairs, he has executive oversight of advising and degree progress for over 1,000 students who are candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree at Princeton.

Bogucki on NPR speaking about the discovery of the earliest evidence for cheese production during the late sixth millennium B.C. by colleagues at the University of Bristol (Mélanie Salque, Richard Evershed) can be heard HERE. See the article in Nature HERE (subscription may be required) presenting the research results. The LA Times did a nice article on our discovery, seen HERE.

Note: Peter Bogucki's area of scholarly expertise is PREHISTORIC Europe, before A.D. 1 in western Europe and before A.D. 1000 in eastern Europe, and particularly before 2000 B.C. All inquiries about recent European, world, and Polish history, society, culture, and other topics (e.g. Poland in World War II) should be directed elsewhere.

Note: "Bogucki" is a relatively common Polish name. It is number 386 on the ranked listing of the 20,000 most common Polish surnames and it occurs in all parts of Poland. Unless you are certain that your Bogucki ancestors emigrated to the United States in the 1890s from an area within 10 miles of 52:26:02N, 17:46:47E, then it is unlikely that you are related to this Peter Bogucki on his Bogucki side.
