Daniel Contreras, Ph.D.

Associate Professor

I am an anthropological geoarchaeologist interested in human-environment interactions, particularly anthropogenic components of dynamic landscapes and environmental change.  My research currently includes both field-based and modeling projects in Peru, Utah, Jordan, France, and Greece, where I examine landscape change and its relationship to long-term human occupation, looking at the ways in which humans have both adapted to and caused environmental changes.
