About Me

I am a professional archaeologist with field experience in Alaska, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Belize, and Mongolia. I have a B.A. with a double major in anthropology and history, with a minor in geography. I also have an M.A. in Anthropology, with a technical focus on zooarchaeology. I am primarily interested in the archaeology of the Upper Paleolithic, but I have a general interest in ancient history and prehistory, from the stone age to the iron age.
