Our Research Themes
Our projects address a wide variety of interrelated issues relevant not only to archaeologists but to educators, policy makers, advocacy groups, and Indigenous peoples.

Humans and the Environment
We study how humans responded to environmental change in the past and the implications for environmental policy.

Multivocal Histories
We promote respect for different cultures and preserve traditional knowledge, past and present.

Cultural and Scientific Literacy
As a social science with deep roots in STEM, archaeology helps students become critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
