Britt Bousman
Associate Dean for Research
Associate Professor
Curator, Archaeological Curation Facility
Ph.D., Southern Methodist University, 1991
Email: cb26@txstate.edu
Phone: 512-245-8272
Office: ELA 234
Research:
I studied Old World Paleolithic archaeology at Cambridge and Southern Methodist Universities. My dissertation focused on Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers and paleoenvironments in the
Easter Karoo of South Africa. My research interests include Stone Age Sub-Saharan Africa, Paleoindian and Archaic archaeology in the US, 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 working at Early, Middle, and Later Stone Age sites in collaboration with Dr. James Brink (National Museum) at the sites of Baden-Baden, Erfkroon, and Cornelia in the Free State, South Africa. In addition, I am working with Garth Sampson to convert the Zeekoe Valley Survey data from South Africa into GIS format. I am also excavating Antelope Creek sites in the Texas Panhandle. In addition to teaching the courses listed below in the Anthropology Department, I am the curator of the Archaeological Curation Facility.
