Research:
I studied Old World Paleolithic archaeology at Cambridge University and at Southern Methodist University, where I earned my PhD. My research areas include the South-Central US, especially the Paleoindian archaeology there, and Stone Age Sub-Saharan Africa. Topically, my published research has focused on the integration of foraging theory, technological organization and settlement/mobility patterns among modern and prehistoric hunter-gatherers, geoarchaeology and paleoenvironmental analysis, and the development and spread of domestication in Africa.
I am currently excavating Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age occupations in collaboration with Dr. James Brink (National Museum) at the sites of Baden-Baden and Erfkroon in the Free State, South Africa. In addition, I am working with Garth Sampson (SMU) on converting the Zeekoe Valley Survey data from South Africa into GIS formats.
In addition to teaching the courses listed below in the Anthropology Department, I am the director of the Center for Archaeological Studies. At the CAS Staff and Faculty page you can download a few of my recently published articles and some Google Earth files.
