Bio/Research
Using my agronomic expertise, I examine Iroquois agriculture from a multi-disciplinary perspective that includes history, archeology, paleobotany, and cultural/social anthropology in order to provide a critically needed bridge between scholars in the humanities and social sciences who work in Iroquois Studies. More recently I have expanded this research to include pre-Columbian agriculture in eastern/central North America, to better understand the nature and productivity of indigenous agriculture more generally in this region.
