Earl D. Strong Professor in Social Studies
Kathryn Kamp teaches anthropology and archaeology at Â鶹´«Ã½ College. While she has worked in Syria and Belize, her major research focus is the study of the Puebloan populations who once resided near modern Flagstaff, Arizona where she has been excavating and doing survey for over twenty years. She is interested in past identities, particularly childhood, experimental archaeology and ethnoarchaeology, and the cultural dynamics of middle range societies. She is presently planning an ethnoarchaeological study in Turkey.
