Welcome to my Home Page...

I am an anthropologist who studies how and why societies change and evolve. I do this by reconstructing the organization of prehistoric societies to see how they arranged their economic, political, and religious institutions. My current research compares the roles that religion played in different populations to get a better sense of which facets of religious behavior are universal to all humans, and which result from the specific needs of each society.

I'm currently the Associate Director of the Center for Comparative Archaeology of the University of Pittsburgh.

Should you have any questions regarding my research, publications, or teaching please don't hesitate to contact me.
