I conduct compliant archaeological field surveys, research, reporting, and artifact documentation.

Message

I've conducted Phase I and II archaeological surveys, background research, and compliance reporting for Chronicle Heritage, Edge Consulting Engineers, Commonwealth Heritage Group, and Wapsi Valley Archaeology.

My fieldwork includes shovel and auger testing, pedestrian survey, mapping, soil identification, artifact identification, and survey planning. I've worked under NEPA, Section 106, National Park Service, state historic preservation, forestry, and transportation requirements.

I've also supported National Park Service curation and preservation projects through soil analysis, database entry, research, and final reports. I bring public outreach, teaching, customer service, record-keeping, and collaborative leadership to field teams.
