Roger Llewellyn Dunmore Cribb (6 January 1948 – 24 August 2007) was an Australian archaeologist and anthropologist who specialised in documenting and modelling spatial patterns and social organisation of nomadic peoples.

He is noted for conducting early fieldwork amongst the nomadic pastoralists of Anatolia, Turkey; writing a book on the archaeology of these nomads;[1] pioneering Australian archaeology and anthropologies' use of geographical information systems,[2][3] plus genealogical software;[4] and conducting later fieldwork documenting the cultural landscapes of the Aboriginal peoples of Cape York Peninsula.

[5][6][7] Dr Cribb's life's work is the work of a practical, applied social scientist[8] who firmly believed anthropological models, grounded and parsimoniously applied, could reliably reach beyond our existing accumulated knowledge, into the archaeological past of some of our oldest cultures in some of the more sparsely populated regions of our world: i.e. the nomadic pastoralists of Anatolia (Turkey)[1][9] and the gatherer-hunters of Cape York, (Australia).

From the early 1990s onwards Dr Cribb became increasingly disengaged from academic communities of scholars, tending to work instead within the grey (unpublished) fringes of more commercially driven (less 'pure') research projects and programs.

[21][22][23] Rapid developments in computer technologies and programming quickly overtook him, yet he continued for many years to work in those areas, with those peoples whose cultural landscapes he was most keen to understand, document, and help reveal to the world.
