17 1999 2001: As part of my NSF-supported doctoral dissertation research, I analyzed faunal materials from pithouse and pueblo period archaeological sites in the Mimbres Valley, New Mexico, and I prepared them for curation. These materials come from the Old Town site, excavated by Darrell G. Creel of the Texas Archaeological Research Laboratory, Austin, and from several sites excavated by the Mimbres Foundation, directed by Steven A.

I assisted in the identification of faunal materials from the Homestead Cave paleontological site, northern Bonneville Basin, Utah, under the supervision of Donald K. Grayson. The purpose of this project was to provide a detailed paleoenvironmental record for this portion of the Great Basin and to address questions about mammalian biogeography.
