I am an archaeologist specializing in coastal and environmental issues. My research centers on the archaeology of the Pacific Coast of North America, ranging from Baja California to the Pacific Northwest. Most of my recent field projects have been on California's Northern Channel Islands, where I have excavated and analyzed shell middens dated from the terminal Pleistocene through the Historic period. I am interested in a wide range of anthropological issues, including historical ecology and human impacts on the environment, zooarchaeology and taphonomy, and coastal and island adaptations. In the following pages, you will find links to my publications and undergraduate courses.
