I specialize in archaeological applications of geophysics, especially magnetics, electrical imaging, electromagnetics,
and ground penetrating radar (GPR). Of particular interest is how multiple techniques can be used together to make
cultural resource management and research archaeology more efficient. I also focus on other geospatial technologies
such as airborne remote sensing (including thermal infrared), land surveying, geographic information systems (GIS),
and the global positioning system (GPS). In terms of more conventional archaeology, I work primarily with prehistoric
and contact-period Native American sites in the southeastern United States.
I received a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology (and a minor in Computer Science) from the University of Kentucky in 1999
and a Master of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Mississippi in 2002. My MA thesis work was conducted at the Hollywood site,
a Mississippian mound center located in northwest Mississippi, and was supported with grants from the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
