Candidate for Ph.D., University of Washington Dept. of Anthropology

My current research interests center on evaluating exchange of chipped stone tools among marginalized agriculturalists in the American Southwest between AD 1275-1450. More broadly I am interested in understanding prehistoric economic networks and in utilizing geochemical fingerprinting techniques to find the sources of archaeological and geological materials.

I currently serve as adjunct faculty at both the Cultural Science department of Mesa Community College and the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University.
