I am a research associate with the Research Division of the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University of Oregon serving as the Museum's human osteologist and also as an assistant archaeologist. I also oversee the Museum's two osteological laboratories. The Museum conducts archaeology for the Environmental Section of the Oregon Department of Transportation and various other agencies. In addition to working with Native American remains, I also provide consultation to various federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in forensic cases involving human skeletal remains. I also occasionally teach classes in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon.
My research interests include human cranial and dental variation, peopling of the New World, Pleistocene/Holocene human evolution, and forensic anthropology.
Im currently working on a number of research projects including:
Analysis of bone from the Donner Family Campsite
Skeletal biology of Pacific Coast Native Americans
Archaeological work along the Oregon Coast: Rocky Creek Wayside
