Alphonse Pinart (1852–1911) was a French explorer, philologist, and ethnographer. He was an early champion of the theory that the Americas were first populated by migration across the Bering Strait. To support his research, he made extensive travel in the Pacific, from Alaska and the Aleutian Islands〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kmxt.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=2 )〕 to Easter Island. He also pilfered numerous historical documents from the Spanish archives in Santa Fe, New Mexico:〔Ralph Emerson Twitchell, “The Spanish Archives of New Mexico”, Vol. 2, pp. 213-214 (1914).〕
Alternatively, he may have purchased the documents from someone at the archives. Twitchell was not in Santa Fe when this alleged theft took place, and Twitchell is described as "... the most prolific New Mexico historian of his period, although his works were often seen as biased." 〔http://dev.newmexicohistory.org/filedetails.php?fileID=21280〕 He recorded vocabularies of the Mission Indians in California, and also documented early rock art in Aruba. In 1875, he purchased a crystal skull and other ethnographic artifacts from Eugène Boban, which was later donated to the Trocadéro Museum. ==Publications== * ''Caverne d'Aknañh, île d'Ounga(archipel Shumagin, Alaska).''
