About
I am an archaeologist with major theoretical interests in explaining variation amongst peoples who subsisted by hunting and gathering and in improving means of extracting information about past societies from their stone tool assemblages. I have been involved in Ontario Archaeology, and more broadly, Great Lakes archaeology, for over 35 years and have focussed temporally on the earliest evidence for human occupation dating in excess of 2500 years ago. My current research is centred on the undertanding of variation in settlement and subsistence practices among southern Ontario "Archaic" peoples of ca. 2000 BC and the explanation of variation in the form and content of early (13,000-11,500 years old) stone tool caches left by "Paleoindian" peoples across North America. I have supervised graduate theses on a wide range of topics on Great Lakes/Ontario archaeology that go much beyond my temporal interests to include even analyses of historic EuroCanadian sites.
