Caribbean Landscapes in the Age of the Anthropocene: The First Colonizers (2016)
Identifying first human colonization of new places is challenging, especially when groups were small and material traces of their occupations were ephemeral. Generating reliable reconstructions of human-colonization patterns from intact archaeological sites may be exceedingly difficult given post-depositional taphonomic processes and in cases of island and coastal locations the inundation of landscapes resulting from post-Pleistocene sea-level rise. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction is a better...

Holocene Precipitation Variability in Northern Baja California: Correlating Lithic Abundance and Climatic Change from Scorpion Shelter (2015)
In order to understand human adaptation to climatic regimes, I compare lithic assemblages and oxygen isotope values from kangaroo rat remains found at the hunter-gatherer shellfish-collecting site of Scorpion Shelter in coastal northwestern Baja California. Scorpion Shelter is important because it contains a continuous faunal record for a coastal community that spans from the terminal Pleistocene through the Holocene (~11,600 BP – present). Using Human Behavioral Ecology, we would expect to see...

Home Is Where the Past Is: The Role of Environmental and Social Factors in Pre-Columbian Settlement on the Northern Gulf Coast of Florida (2016)
Pre-Columbian settlement practices in coastal settings were influenced by both environmental and sociocultural factors, but determining the role of each is often hindered by a lack of paleoenvironmental data that is applicable to particular coastal areas. In Horseshoe Cove, on the northern Gulf coast of Florida, settlement practices varied between the Deptford/Swift Creek periods and the Weeden Island period, but were these practices driven by environmental change or were they linked to social...

Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of the Northern Frontier of Mesoamerica: Stable Isotopic Analysis of Lagomorphs from La Ferrería, Durango, Mexico (2015)
Central to understanding the social and economic dynamics of past societies is the reconstruction of the environment in which they developed. The marginal environmental region of Northwest Mexico, in particular, has been a focus of debate concerning the importance of environmental change in the rise and decline of complex societies in the region. This study analyzes 49 Leporid (rabbit and hare) bones from the settlement of La Ferrería in modern Durango, Mexico for stable isotope ratios of...
POLLEN, PHYTOLITH, AND PROTEIN RESIDUE ANALYSIS AT SITES 48YE697 AND 48YE701, YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYOMING (1994)
A stratigraphic column from Site 48YE697 on the north shore of Yellowstone Lake was sampled for pollen and phytoliths. This column sequence is believed to represent the entire Holocene, with bottom samples possibly representing the Holocene-Pleistocene transition. A soil sample from beneath a butchered bison skull with a radiocarbon date of 800 + 60 BP also was sampled for pollen and phytoliths. Pollen and phytolith analyses of these column and soil samples are used to address questions...
Refining Ideal Free Distribution Predictions Using Paleoenvironmental and Zooarchaeological Data on California’s Northern Channel Islands (2024)
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. I examine the potential for using higher resolution environmental records to expand on existing Ideal Free Distribution (IFD) model applications on California’s Northern Channel Islands. In this project, I take advantage of recent advances in paleoenvironmental research and higher resolution proxy methods (e.g., sclerochronology) since previous...
