I am a doctoral student specializing in anthropological archaeology, focusing on the socio-cultural interactions and complexities of ancient populations in eastern North America. 

Since 2019, I have worked in diverse archaeological contexts in the province of Québec, ranging from multi-component prehistoric sites to major institutional historical buildings and cemetery contexts. I am also on the board of the Québec Association of Archaeologists. 

Congratulations Graduates!

Congratulations to all newly minted anthropologists! 

We want to acknowledge all the hard work you all have done to get to this stage in terms of certainly your coursework, your research, your field schools, your due diligence, and everything else. In addition, we want to thank all parents, families, and friends for supporting them in getting to this point.  You all played a critical part in being their community.

Indigenizing Athens with Dr. James Brooks

May is Archaeology Month in Georgia, and to kick it off the Athens Historical Society is hosting an event on May 2nd with Dr. James F. Brooks at the University of Georgia’s Laboratory of Archaeology. Dr. Brooks, the Carl and Sally Gable Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Georgia and a board member of our sister institution Historic Athens, will discuss his ongoing Indigenizing Athens project, a multi-year collaborative effort developing public interpretive programs with Tribal Nation partners who trace their ancestral past to the Athens-Clarke County area.
