• Research Overview

    I am an anthropological archaeologist interested in domesticity, production and exchange.  I have conducted archaeological research in the Canadian Great Plains, southern Ontario and the American Southwest.  My most recent project was an ethnoarchaeological study of ceramic exchange and consumption in the Inland Niger Delta of Mali.  I am now working on a new archaeological research in Northern Mexico that is exploring how households became integrated into the 13th-15th C. Casas Grandes Regional System. 

    Additional information on these projects is available by following the links in the menu to the left.

     

  • About me

    I was born and raised in a small town in central Alberta.  My interest in archaeology took me to Red Deer College after high school and then to the University of Calgary, where I finished an honours degree in Anthropology.  I spent a couple of years after graduation working in the Cultural Resources Management industry exploring sites in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Nunavut.
