I am an anthropological archaeologist with an area specialization in the lower Great Lakes and northeastern North America in general.  My research interests encompass issues of current practice in archaeology, especially cultural resource management (CRM), Indigenous peoples and archaeology, the continuum from hunter-gatherer-foragers to farmers in the lower Great Lakes. Given my focus on cultural resource management combined with more general archaeological concerns, I regularly supervise and act as an advisor to graduate students in the Department’s Applied Archaeology program and in the Archaeology and Bioarchaeology stream. Much of my research involves graduate students working with data collected in cultural resource management contexts.
