Welcome to Cold Hammered Archaeology

Welcome to Cold Hammered Archaeology! My purpose for this website is to provide a resource for both academics and enthusiasts to learn about North America's Native Copper Industry in the Upper Great Lakes through the lens of Experimental Archaeology. Through blog posts, papers, presentations, and videos I will share aspects of both my professional and academic career as an archaeologist, as well as document my work researching various aspects of Archaic Copper Production.

I received my PhD from Indiana University's Department of Anthropology. I study native copper production in the northern Lake Superior Basin.
