I am a current master's student working to develop collaborative methodologies in archaeology and anthropology by working directly with descendant communities. My work is focused on the North American southeast. I am also interested in visual anthropology and storytelling through exploring the use of StoryMaps and other digital media in education and anthropological outreach.

My broad research interests revolve around climate change vulnerability and adaptation. I have a particular interest in comprehending how climate change affects individuals and communities in different ways, both socially and politically. I want to explore the ways different communities’ contexts add to the interaction between adaptation and resilience initiatives, and look into the understanding of “inclusive” policy processes regarding the unequal distribution of climate impacts necessary to inform policy responses.

Discovering Past Life: An Archaeological Investigation in Loscos, Spain

archaeologists in the field

Loscos, Spain. Drs. Ted Gragson and Victor Thompson, Ph.D. candidates Brett Parbus and Faith McDonald from the University of Georgia in collaboration with Ph.D. candidate Lydia Allué Andrés from the Université Toulouse 2 (France) and Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) and others are investigating the abandoned medieval town of San Miguel de Mercadal. Historic documents indicate the town was occupied between AD 1280-1495 yet the presence of a chapel in an architectural style common to the 11th century suggests the town may be older.

During my education, the shifting dynamics of human-animal interactions attracted my attention, particularly in the Zagros Mountains in Iran as a key region regarding debates on the onset of animal domestication and husbandry and the role animals played in different societies (nomad, semi-nomad and year-round). These interests encouraged me to follow the seminar of “Initiation to Archaeozoology” a cooperation between CNRS (Dr. Marjan Mashkour) and the University of Tehran (Dr. Haeedeh Laleh).

My research interests include settlement patterns, human-environment interactions, and the application of GIS to archaeology. My main focus is on the prehistoric period, with a particular interest in the Neolithic. Previously I studied archaeology in China, and in the future I hope to be exposed to more cross-cultural research.
