I am a member of the research faculty at the Oklahoma Archeological Survey, University of Oklahoma.  I have worked throughout the US Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic.  My major research interests are social organization, monumental architecture, experimental archaeology, ceramic analysis, political economy, settlement patterns, and archaeological geophysics, with a focus on late prehistoric Mississippian and Caddo people. 

Current research is based in eastern Oklahoma, primarily in the northeastern and east-central parts of the state.  Projects combine reanalysis of existing collections with new survey and excavation work to explore the settlement patterns and social organization of the region.  The goals are to develop a fuller understanding of the archaeology of eastern Oklahoma in order to allow meaningful comparisons with data from Mississippian groups to the east.
