About
I am a doctoral candidate at the Department of Anthropology at Michigan State University and an archaeologist at Commonwealth Cultural Resources Group (CCRG, a cultural resource management firm). My current research interests focus on the relationship between people, their culture, and their environment. My dissertation addresses the interaction of hunter-gatherers and low-level food producers with their environment as well as how their decisions influenced resource use and scheduling (including the use of domestic plants) during the Late Woodland period (AD 600 to AD 1600) in northern Michigan. A portion of this study is derived from data collected over the past decade as a result of CCRG projects.
Since my field school at the Marquette Mission site in St. Ignace, Michigan, I have had the pleasure of working on archaeological projects in Europe (England and Germany) and North America (Great Lakes region and New England). However, through the years it has become clear I have a fondness for working in the “north woods” of Wisconsin and Michigan.
