Hello! 👋 I’m an archaeologist who studies the last 5,000 years of human history across eastern North America! I work primarily in the American Southeast, from Southern Appalachia to the Coast, on Ancestral Muskogean, Spanish Colonial, and Gullah-Geechee #archaeology!

Colleges need to stop trying to teach students how to use AI. Even in the theoretical use cases, genAI requires the expertise to know the process and outcome WITHOUT IT to be able to use it for shortcuts and then THOROUGHLY vet the product. EXPERTISE. Students don't have that, they're students.

How can we place Indigenous presence and colonial encounters in absolute time? How can we see beyond Spanish descriptions into the landscapes that contextualized encounters? How do we transcend the archaeology-history divide to understand the impacts and outcomes of encounters? #archaeology #history

Throwback to @isazooarch.bsky.social working at Mound Key, the capital of the Calusa of southwestern Florida. Once home to c. 4,000 people, MK is a 150 acre anthropogenic island constructed entirely of shell, complete with mounds, canals, and live fish storage! #archaeology #history #ecology

It’s that time of the year when everyone wishes it was time for the field season again right? (July 2016 geophysics at Santa Elena on the South Carolina coast; the first permanent Spanish settlement in what is today the U.S.!) #archaeology #history

Fingerprint of an Indigenous potter living along the southeastern Atlantic coast c. 750yrs ago! Little oddities like this really collapse the perceived distance between the “us” of the present and the “them” of the past #archaeology #history

This exhibit is excellent. Its dismantling is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment.
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.
How far we have not come in 250 years.

One (understandably!) under appreciated component of foodways research in #archaeology: eggs! Matt has recovered a range of eggshells (birds, turtles(?!), etc) in the remains of food trash associated with the enslaved community of the North End Plantation on Ossabaw Island, Georgia #history #ecology
