Jonathan Micon

UGA Arch

My name is Jonathan Micon. I graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology and History from Purdue University. My dissertation research addresses key anthropological themes related to borderlands, interaction, and movement in northeastern North America. Specifically, it uses chronometric dating techniques to re-write archaeological histories about Iroquoian population collapse in the St. Lawrence River Valley during the 16th century. In doing this, it challenges the notion that St. Lawrence Iroquoians (SLI) "disappeared" due to warfare, climate change, or European disease and instead highlights how movement and social networks were actively employed by SLI to create new opportunities and maintain long-standing cultural traditions. Aside from this work, I have also assisted with archaeological projects in other parts of eastern North America, including Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ontario, and New York.
