Craig Evan Royce was born in Oakland, California, and received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Kentucky, where he became interested in the people and art of the Appalachian southern highlands. A short time thereafter he returned to California and opened a museum/gallery in the art colony of Laguna Beach that featured art from the southern highlands. He has also discovered and recorded seven archaic and prehistoric archaeological sites in the Northern Canyonlands Province of the Colorado Plateau in the San Rafael Swell region of Southeastern Utah. These sites have been assigned Smithsonian Site Numbers through the State of Utah Division of State History. Artifacts from the largest of the sites are curated in the United States Department of the Interior collections at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in Price, Utah. Since 1993 he has served as the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Services Non-Game Program Peregrine Falcon Restoration Project Lexington Falcon Watch Volunteer Coordinator in Lexington, Kentucky.
