Rebecca's research interests take her to the windy precipices of Bighorn Canyon (Wyoming/Montana).  She focuses on archaeological predictive modeling from an indigenous archaeological perspective with an additional emphasis on statistical applications.  Working closely with members of the Crow tribe as well as NPS employees, her goal is to create an accurate and beneficial predictive model to aid in archaeological projects taking place both within the boundaries of Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and on Crow reservation land.

 

Rebecca received a Bachelor's of Science in Anthropology and History and European Studies from Carnegie Mellon University in 2006.  She spent three years as an intern and employee of the San Diego Archaeological Center, where She rehabilitated archaeological collections and constructed the institution's first geodatabase.  Rebecca has spent four years in the field at Bighorn Canyon with the Exploring Social and Historical Landscapes of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem field school, run in conjunction by Dr. Laura Scheiber (Indiana University) and Dr. Judson Finley (University of Memphis).

 

Her hobbies include digitizing maps, hiking, reading old novels, and knitting.  If you are interested in Rebecca's research, please check out her blog at http://rebeccasnowhere.blogspot.com/.
