Besides conducting active field archaeological research in the Great Basin, Department of Anthropology faculty at the University of Nevada Reno are involved in a number of other research projects related to the peopling of the Americas.
Dr. Gary Haynes (Professor) has published three books and 80 papers on the taphonomy and paleoecology of Ice Age megafauna and humans, including Mammoths, Mastodonts, and Elephants: Biology, Behavior, and the Fossil Record (Cambridge University Press 1991), Mammoths and the Mammoth Fauna: Studies of an Extinct Ecosystem (Deinsea 6, Journal of the Rotterdam Natural History Museum), and The Clovis Era in a Mammoth-Haunted Continent (Cambridge University Press, In Press). He is also carrying out research in Zimbabwe, southern Africa, dividing his time between taphonomic studies of free-roaming elephant herds and an archaeological study of the colonization and re-colonization of African landscapes from early Pleistocene times to the modern era.
Dr. Ted Goebel (Former Associate Professor and Director of the Sundance Archaeological Research Fund) has been involved in a series of field-based research projects in Siberia. Since 1996, he has conducted excavations and geological investigations of a series of Upper Paleolithic sites in the Transbaikal, along with his colleagues Michael Waters, Mikhail Meshcherin, and Mikhail Konstantinov. In 2000, Goebel led a team of researchers to conduct field investigations at the famous Ushki Upper Paleolithic site, located in central Kamchatka, eastern Siberia. This site contains the earliest known evidence of humans in the Bering Land Bridge area, and may hold many clues regarding the colonization of the Americas during the Ice Age.
