Archaeology

I am an archaeologist who has worked in the UK, India, Europe, and the USA. I am the PI for a number of projects being conducted on the Wind Wolves Preserve (http://www.wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve_windwolves.html) California: at almost 100,000 acres, this is the largest private non-profit contiguous land holding in the American West. My work uses cutting-edge technologies and scientific approaches in order to develop theoretical alternatives to notions of complexity, ideology, and ontology. I work with local tribal communities and museums in efforts to contribute to their tribal programmes, and with a talented group of international colleagues, including film makers and computing experts developing high end, data rich VR immersive platforms focused on my projects.
