I am a professional archaeologist, a history buff, and a member of the Explorers Club. I've done archaeological fieldwork in Alaska, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Belize, Mongolia, and Spain. I have a BA with a double major in anthropology and history and an MA in anthropology with a technical focus on zooarchaeology. I'm an incoming anthropology PhD student at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. I'm also the host of The Tel, an archaeology podcast on the global ancient history and prehistory of humankind.
I have active research interests in arctic prehistory, ancient Polynesia, and the late Pleistocene, and I have a general interest in ancient cultures from the stone age to antiquity. Some of the subdisciplines that inform my thinking include zooarchaeology, human behavioral ecology, cultural ecology, and evolutionary psychology, among others. When not studying the past I'm also an avid caver and rock climber. |
