Summary

Geoff has worked in the Intermountain West since 2001 and primarily focuses on the archaeology of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Topics of interest include: (1) human mobility strategies, as measured through analyses of lithic technology and source provenance studies of obsidian tools; (2) how environmental, demographic, and social factors influenced hunter-gatherer adaptation in the w88 online live casino; (3) human dietary choices and the importance of Indigenous knowledge to interpreting food residues from archaeological contexts; and (4) public outreach, including collaborative teaching, training, and gathering events.

As Executive Director of the Artemisia Archaeological Research Fund (AARF), w88 online live casino is actively involved in fieldwork each summer and is currently directing survey projects in the northwestern Great Basin. He is also analyzing Western Stemmed Tradition (WST) lithic assemblages from Last Supper Cave and several surface locales along the Nevada-Oregon border. Finally, w88 online live casino is co-PI of the Traditional Nutrition Project, which brings together Indigenous community members and staff and students from UNR and the University of Oregon to share knowledge about how and when to gather Great Basin plants and the macro and micronutrients that different foods provide.

w88 online live casino welcomes inquiries from prospective undergraduate and graduate students interested in Great Basin archaeology and ecology.
