My DPhil research involves the development of a new multidisciplinary protocol for investigating archaeological landscapes in Southwest-Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. My approach will make use of ethnographic interviews alongside satellite and UAV remote-sensing techniques. I am a senior staff member of the Quinhagak Archaeological Project— the ongoing investigation of the Native Alaskan Yup'ik site of Nunalleq and its surrounding landscape.
