An Experimental Program to Evaluate Proposed Functions of Crescents from the Western United States
… thrown at targets. I then applied models from human behavioral ecology to evaluate the efficiency of crescents for each task. Additionally, I analyzed the breaks that accrued from use on the replicated crescents and compared them to archaeological patterns. Results from this study indicate that …

People, Places, and Plants: An Appraisal of Subsistence, Technology and Sedentism in the Eastern Woodlands
… been associated with major changes in human technology, settlement patterns and social organization. This research project tests these relationships among prehistoric human populations inhabiting the Eastern Woodlands by considering how increasing reliance on cultivated foods during the …

WHY THE XWISTEN CROSSED THE RIVER: LITHIC TRANSPORT STRATEGIES ON THE CANADIAN PLATEAU
… four hundred years (~1500-1100 cal. B.P.) of human occupation. This research will provide an alternative framework for considering variability in lithic assemblages other than through the filter of socio-economic explanation typical of previous work. This research will also provide feedback …

A HUMAN BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE YELLOWSTONE LAKE BASIN, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING
… is to demonstrate that through the tenants of human behavioral ecology, it can be argued that the subsistence and settlement strategies of mobile foragers were heavily influenced by the abundance and availability of subsistence resources. This is based on the premise that resource patches …

Late Holocene Logistical and Residential Settlement in Interior Santa Rosa Island, California: A Comparative Analysis of Four Rockshelter Sites
… and Central Place Foraging (CPF) models from Human Behavioral Ecology (HBE). To test each hypothesis, I use four lines of evidence: radiometric dating (radiocarbon), faunal analysis (primarily marine fauna), stable isotopic data from Mytilus californianus shell, and geospatial analysis …

Mountains as Crossroads: Temporal and Spatial Patterns of High Elevation Activity in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA
… from the Alps to the Andes, one must include the ecology and archaeology of the highest elevations. Specifically, I base my findings on new fieldwork and lithic collections from the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) of the Rocky Mountains, which was a …
