Interest in Synthesis
I am Director of the Center for Collaborative Synthesis in Archaeology. I am especially interested in expanding the contemporary relevance of archaeology by bringing archaeological evidence to bear on research issues in other social sciences.
Collaboration Interests
I am especially interested in connecting archaeologists with specific expertise to social scientists in other fields with overlapping topical research interests. I am also involved in several data synthesis efforts, including the Village Ecodynamics Project (VEP), the cyberSW project, and the Social Reactors Project.
