Started in 2015, this project has led to the development and application of GIS tools to model the flow and characteristics of sound throughout landscapes. Publications and presentations resulting from this project are indicated by ª before the authors’ names. Legacies of A. C. Parker: This project explores the intersection of the development and history of the discipline of archaeology and the experience of indigenous people within colonial contexts, with a goal of improving future archaeological practice. Started in 2018, this project draws upon the researcher’s professional experience as both a government agency’s tribal liaison and as an archaeologist.
