Biography

Texas A&M University College Station - Anthropology

Graduate Assistant Lecturer at Texas A&M University
Research
Jordan
Pratt
Bryan/College Station, Texas Area
I am currently a graduate student at Texas A&M University, pursuing a Ph.D. with the Department of Anthropology and the Center for the Study of the First Americans.

My research interests include studying the peopling of the Americas, specifically in the northern Great Basin. I am interested in Paleoindian adaptations to climate change, and using lithic analysis to study changes in technology, settlement, and mobility patterns. I am also interested in using geospatial technologies in archaeology to address questions of environmental archaeology, human behavioral and evolutionary ecology.
