Q&A
Where are you/will you be conducting your research/fieldwork?
Connecticut, and the broader New England region
What do you find most interesting about your field work/research location?
There is a rich history full of multicomponent sites that many people who live in New England are unaware of.
What is your most memorable experience in the field so far, or most memorable lesson learned?
The most important lesson I have learned in the field is that documentation is everything. How we collect and record information during excavation directly impacts the types of conclusions that we can draw from the assemblage later.
