Bill Brown TRACK: Geographic Information Systems, Thesis Track DEGREES: I have two undergraduate degrees in History and Anthropology from the University of Alabama and a Master’s of Arts in Anthropology (concentration: Archaeology) from UNM ACADEMIC INTERESTS: I’ve been a professional archaeologist since 1985 and understanding the creation of cultural landscapes (e.g., settlement patterns, creation of urban public space to justify social inequality, and mapping of sites in general) are critical to understanding prehistoric communities. My goals are to develop the technical skills for mapping (GIS) as well as enhancing my understanding of cultural space in landscapes and urban environments. |
