Research

My research area is the Coastal Ranges of California, focusing on rock markings (rock art), believed to be the result of pre-historic ritual activity. With over 100 identified sites extending nearly the entire length of California, I am utilizing a multi-disciplinary approach to place the tradition in a cultural and geographical context.
