Lisa C. Young
Lisa C. Young completed her Ph.D in anthropology from the University of
Arizona in 1996. She is currently a Research Scientist in the Museum of
Anthropology and Lecturer II in the Department of Anthropology. Her research
focuses on changes in the economy and social organization used by prehistoric
small-scale agricultural groups. Specifically, she examines changes in mobility
strategies and village organization during the pithouse-to-pueblo transition in the
American Southwest, by analyzing shifts in storage practices and the use of wild
resources. She is actively involved in the excavation of two sites in the
Homol'ovi area of northeastern Arizona and includes students in her research
through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) and
informal volunteer opportunities. She is also the undergraduate honors advisor
for archaeology.
