Archaeology
Interests
Archaeology, especially that of the American Southwest; community formation and transitions in the millennium prior to European contact; social theory as it relates to questions of social and ethnic identity, ritual, migration and abandonment; ceramics and quantitative analyses.
My research focuses on the increasing complexity of social and ritual institutions, problems of integration and emergent inequality as scale increases within the context of middle range societies. I work with the archaeological identification of communities and the social implications of major settlement, structural, and demographic changes associated with Puebloan (Anasazi) communities between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries in the American Southwest. I have researched different temporal components of these transitions at different points in my career. My dissertation research was a study of changing social identities in the Western Pueblo area of northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico during the A.D. 1300s, a period of extensive social upheaval, migration, ritual elaboration, and regional interaction. My current, long-term research project explores similar issues during the earlier florescence of the regional system centered on Chaco Canyon during the 11th and 12th centuries.
Courses
I regularly teach Archaeological Method and Theory (Anth 530), Prehistory of the Southwest (Anth 539), and Ceramic Analysis (Anth 514), and have also offered our Quantitative Methods in Anthropology (Anth 537).
Undergraduate Courses: Introduction to Anthropology (Anth 101), America Before Columbus (Anth 331), and Archaeological Field School (Anth 399/599, summers).
