I am a zooarchaeologist, meaning that I study animal bones from archaeological sites. My primary research interest is in prehistoric human-environment interactions, particularly human response to climate change.

My current research explores human influence on prehistoric landcapes in two very different times and places: the protohistoric Southwest, where I focus on different types of human impacts on New Mexican landscapes during the 17th century A.D.; and Upper Paleolithic Spain and France, where I investigate human use of patchy landscapes, and particularly, human hunting of the European rabbit.

I teach introductory undergraduate classes as well as advanced seminars in zooarchaeology and environmental archaeology for graduate students. Currently, I teach for the University of New Mexico's Department of Anthropology; I have also taught for Utah State University and for Diné College.
