David W. Whitehead is the founder of CryptoQuest, an organization dedicated to the study of all things "hidden" (Fortean phenomena, the paranormal, lost civilizations, cryptozoology, etc.) He majored in Archaeology, studied Cryptozoology and is one of the world's first Cryptoarchaeologists. He has investigated the hidden secrets of the swamps and rivers of Florida, the jungles of Central America, deserts of Peru and the crypts and castles of Europe. As a Cryptoarchaeologist he investigates in a valid, though not fully accepted, form of archaeology, in that he follows commonly accepted best practices and scientific method. However, he focuses on ANOMALOUS DISCOVERIES. He performs the scientific study of historic or prehistoric peoples and their cultures by analysis of their artifacts, inscriptions, monuments, and other such remains that do not adhere to orthodox theory and thought. However, he rigorously adheres to the fundamental principals of processual Archaeology. He can be contacted at cryptoquest@gmail.com
