About

I am an anthropological archaeologist who specializes in the study of socio-political complexity and the historical ecology of wetland and coastal environments in the southeastern United States. Informed by both political economic and ecological theory, my past and most recent work utilizes geophysical survey, stable isotope analysis of shellfish, and regional survey to explore the archaeology of complex socio-ecological systems. My primary research centers on the coastal groups who occupied Georgia and Florida over the past 4000 years. These investigations focus on understanding the impact of human agents on coastal ecosystems and how environmental processes, such as sea level rise, influence societal trajectories through time.
