John Mann Goggin (May 27, 1916 Chicago- May 4, 1963 Gainesville) was a cultural anthropologist in the southwest, southeast, Mexico, and Caribbean, primarily focusing on the ethnology, cultural history, and typology of artifacts from archaeological sites. Shortly after John M. Goggin s birth, his family moved to Miami, Florida, where John s father, a dentist, had set up practice. John would spend his early years here. It was in the everglades that John roamed and soon formed a thriving interest in the cultural history and ethnology of the region.
