Research Interests: Midwestern Paleoindian and Early Archaic settlement and subsistence strategies.  As a part of this research, my dissertation project uses Geographic Information Systems  to incorporate paleoenvironmental reconstruction with early hunter-gatherer site and archaeological data in an effort to better understand mobility patterns.  I am particularly interested in lithic data, sourcing and technology.  I have been involved in archaeological projects in Germany, Wyoming, Montana and Indiana.  As a former brewmaster, I am also interested in the role of fermented beverages in prehistory, and teach a class entitled “The Archaeology and Appreciation of Beer”.
