Personal Statement
Ranging from the Paleo-Indian era through the Colonial Period, I am privileged to have conducted field studies with students and colleagues on the full temporal spectrum of indigenous evolution in the Americas and the Andes . Guided by tenets of positivism and uniformitarianism, my research interests are trans-disciplinary, embracing ideologies of corporate art and monumental architecture, political economies of subsistence and settlement systems, and adaptive responses to dynamic stress of social and environmental origin. My investigative methodologies are eclectic, ranging from traditional to art history through new technologies of regional landscape analysis. I invite exceptionally inquisitive minds with superior credentials to enjoy a mutual thirst for evolutionary understanding of the native American achievement.
