Donald K. Grayson (PhD 1973, Oregon)
Research Interests:
Quaternary paleoecology, zooarchaeology, historic biogeography, evolutionary
ecology, North American prehistory (especially the Arid West), European
Paleolithic
"My prime
interests lie in understanding the interrelationships between people and the
biotic landscapes with which they interact. My technical specialization in
zooarchaeology provides me with one means of addressing this general area,
while theory drawn from both biogeography and evolutionary ecology provides
the conceptual tools I have used to understand those interrelationships.
Although my research is driven more by questions than by time periods or
geography, the bulk of my work has involved the latest Pleistocene and
Holocene of the Great Basin (western United States) and Pleistocene
southwestern France, areas in which I plan to continue working in the
future."
