Research Interests

My current research focuses on collector-collaboration in archaeology. More specifically, I am working with collectors in Northern Arizona, around the Winslow-Holbrook area to document paleoindian artifacts and to conduct field surveys in an attempt to identify paleoindian sites and activity areas. I currently serve as co-Chair of the SAA collector-collaboration interest group with Dr. Bonnie Pitblado. I am also working with indigenous scholars on topics at the intersection of Climate-Justice and cultural/environmental  preservation laws and policy.
