Multiscalar Archaeologies Lab Researchers and faculty in the Multiscalar Archaeologies (MAIES) lab are united by a common desire to understand how the lived experiences of individuals and communities articulate with broad-scale trends in human history. Accomplishing this aim requires the adoption of an explicitly multi-scalar approach to archaeological research. We employ a range of archaeological methodologies, including Bayesian chronological modelling of radiocarbon dates, elemental characterization, social network analysis, and settlement pattern studies.

Matthew Veres Photo: First Name: Matt Last Name: Veres Office: 265C Baldwin Hall Read more about Matthew Veres My research uses animal bones to explore human-environmental interactions in the past. My focus is the Alm rock shelter in Wyoming, which lies in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, on the eastern side of the Bighorn basin. The site encompasses over 11,000 years of repeated use by humans, from the end of the last ice age until colonial contact.
