THE HAMILTON LAB

The Hamilton Lab supports data-driven interdisciplinary research into the structure, function, and dynamics of human-environment interactions in the past, present, and future. We conduct research from archaeological field excavations to computational data analytics. There are plenty of opportunities for people to get involved at any level, either in the field or in the lab. ​I am always looking for motivated and creative students willing to work hard and share their expertise.
