Awesome
Professor Kilby was my favorite teacher here without a doubt. Really funny and knowledgeable guy who just went above and beyond to help out his students. He tries his best to get to know you, and gives out extra credit as well as relevant readings. Just read, go to class, and talk to him and you will pass the class.

Kilby
I am an archaeologist focused primarily upon the early prehistory of North America. Though my research is largely oriented toward understanding the Paleoindian archaeological record
my broader interests range into other time periods
and into the associated fields of quaternary geology and ecology. I have over 20 years experience in Cultural Resource Management in both the public and private realm. I became an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at ENMU in 2008 after having received my PhD in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico that same year. In the Fall of 2016 I became an Associate Professor at Texas State University. \n\nMy academic interests include lithic artifact analysis
geoarchaeology
hunter-gatherer ecology
Paleoindians
and Southwestern and Southeastern prehistory. In pursuing these interests I have had the opportunity to work throughout the United States as well as Mexico
Costa Rica
and Guam. My current research is focused on early hunter-gatherer archaeology and ecology. My dissertation research consisted of an investigation of Clovis caches where I systematically compared cache assemblages to those of Clovis kill and camp sites towards interpreting their roles in Clovis economy and landscape use. This research continues. In addition
I am currently investigating a number of archaeological and geoarchaeological aspects of Blackwater Draw Locality No. 1
the Clovis site
and have directed the ENMU Archaeological Field School there for five years. \n\nAs an Assistant Professor at a public university I believe that teaching at all levels is a fundamentally important part of my job. I am a firm believer in the efficacy of the scientific method and the power of critical thinking
and I believe that empowering students with these skill sets is a critical part of providing a quality education. You can find more information about the Blackwater Draw site by following the links provided in the contact information section below.
