Geomorphology

main •Predictive Modeling of site location •Working with the archaeologists to assess cultural context and archaeological stratigraphy

Through the synthesis of geological and archaeological data we develop a greater understanding of how Native Americans interacted with their environment. This allows us to more accurately predict the distribution of prehistoric archaeological sites within the landscape. The type of model used in a geoarchaeology investigation will depend on the physiographic setting (river valley, plains, mountains or coast) and geological characteristics of the area.
