Lithic and wood technologies, archaeological landscapes, geophysical survey. Currently investigating spear use in megafauna encounters (not experientially).
I subscribed to WSJ when they did a science short about some of my research last year, but since January or so it's been one of my go to sources for coverage/critique of the US govt. changes. Even some op-eds are relevant.

Ten of my articles are on that list. For seven of those I'm the sole author or first author. Sadly, this probably won't result in a surge in citations.

To describe 3d GPR data based on interpolation from adjacent transects I sometimes tell people it's like a block of Legos with each data point being a Lego piece of a particular color depending on its radar amplitude.

Thanks for this posting this, Peter. We have additional experiments underway, and several new ethnohistorical examples of braced spear/pike use to present in our next paper.
