ISAAC ALFRED HART
Graduate Student, Anthropology Department
Postdoctoral Research Associate, University of Utah, Anthropology Department
Research Summary: My research involves using methods from paleobiogeography and paleoecology to understand human decision making in the past. I combine analysis of past plant communities (pollen-based paleoenvironmental reconstruction) and animal communities (analysis of animal bones from archaeoloigcal sites) with archaeological research regarding human subsistence practices. My geographic areas of research include central Utah, Baja California, and western Mongolia.

KASEY E. COLE
Postdoctoral Fellow, Science Research Initiative, University of Utah, College of Science
Research Summary: I am zooarchaeologist and paleoecologist interested in understanding the impacts of Holocene climate change on the spatial-temporal distribution of animal communities to assess how these interactions influenced past human socio-ecological systems (SES). Emerging from this research are conservation and sustainability projects leveraging longitudinal paleozoological and climate data to inform future wildlife management and Indigenous partnership to help restore Indigenous SES.

Research Summary: My training and research interests are in the comparative archaeology and ethnoarchaeologyy of hunter-gatherers and small-scale agricultural societies. I have archaeological experience in the American west. My ethnoarchaeological research includes foragers of Venezuela, agriculturalists in Mexico, and Native Americans of the Southwest. My research is multi-disciplinary, focusing on human ecology, material culture, and behavioral variability among modern and past subsistence peoples.

Tyler Faith
Associate Professor, Anthropology Department
Chief Curator, Natural History Museum of Utah
Research Summary: My research addresses the relationships between Quaternary mammals, environmental change, and human-environment interactions, with an emphasis on the African record. To explore these relationships, I study vertebrate remains from paleontological and archaeological sites. My approach to the fossil record draws on paleoecological and zooarchaeological techniques.
