ResearchMuch of my current fieldwork, research, and writing focuses on craft production and exchange. One project examines the production and use of stone tools made from novaculite, a fine-grained siliceous rock that outcrops in the Ouachita Mountains. Another project involves research into Caddo Indian lifeways in the Ouachita, Caddo, and Saline river drainages. I also continue to be involved in the Cahokia Palisade Project, tracing the fortification wall at this major Mississippian mound center near East St. Louis, Illinois. Go to list of recent publications reporting research results. |
Teaching I teach in the Sociology and Human Services Department during the spring semester, with occasional independent studies geared to student interests and summer archeological field schools. Students at HSU can earn a minor in Anthropology.

Public ArcheologyI serve as the local archeologist for southwest-central Arkansas, giving talks to school children and civic groups, creating exhibits about Indians and Arkansas archeology, and helping people to preserve sites on their property. I am involved with the Arkansas Archeological Society, with other people interested in protecting, preserving, and studying Arkansas's historic heritage. The Society's Ouachita Chapter meets monthly in Hot Springs (7pm on the second Tuesday of every month but June, at the Arkansas School for Math, Sciences, and the Arts). |
