I have a B.A. in Anthropology and a minor in Physics from Occidental College, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D. in Anthropology from Arizona State University, Tempe. His dissertation research involved applying new theories and cutting-edge technologies to American Indian village sites from southwestern Pennsylvania, many excavated during the 1930s by New Deal archaeologists. My scholarly pursuits include reconstructing American Indian village life from cross-cultural studies of village spatial and social organizations, the research potential of archaeological collections, and the history of New Deal archaeology in Pennsylvania and across America. I am currently an Instructor in Anthropology at the School of World Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University director of the Virtual Curation Archaeology, which is creating three-dimensional digital models of archaeological objects, and resin replicas using a three-dimensional object printer.
