I research the deep history of Native peoples in North America with a focus on the Southeast U.S. I strive to work closely with Native American communities through collaborative projects, consultations, and by engaging Indigenous writers, especially Native philosophers. I often utilize cutting-edge technologies, including CT-scanning and elemental analyses, to investigate the lives of past Native peoples with a focus on communities living during the Archaic period (circa 8000-3000 years ago).
