Research Interests
Dr. Newlander is an anthropological archaeologist with expertise in North America, archaeological field and laboratory methods, and the comparative study of hunter-gatherers. Dr. Newlander is currently pursuing two distinct research projects. The first focuses on the use of lithic and geochemical analyses to reconstruct Paleoindian land use and social networks in the North American Great Basin. The second focuses on Stoddartsville, a 19th century milling village located in northeast Pennsylvania. Archaeological research at Stoddartsville seeks to understand how transformations in the American industrial landscape affected work and life for the residents of the village.
