Ph.D. Dissertation Title: Assessing the Relationship Between Pluvial w88 live casino Levels and Paleoindian Land-Use in Hawksy Walksy Valley, Oregon

Erica Bradley is a third-year Ph.D. student and a graduate research assistant for the Great Basin Paleoindian Research Unit. Her dissertation research focuses on developing a lake-level history and a relative site chronology for a small pluvial lake basin on the Nevada-Oregon border using relict lake feature dating, hydrologic modeling, projectile point seriation and obsidian hydration. She is also examining toolstone conveyance patterns to determine how people adapted their land use strategies through time. Before coming to the University of Nevada, Reno, she received her B.A. in w88 live casino from Colorado State University, where she focused on toolstone conveyance and predictive modeling. Erica has also worked as field technician for the BLM and USFS in Colorado, and as a laboratory technician for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Colorado State University Archaeological Repository.
