Matthew Hill

Dr. Hill is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology, specializing in North American archaeology. His research interests revolve around the study of hunter-gatherer diet and subsistence behavior, mobility strategies, and site structure using archaeological data and methods. Most of his research has centered on the behavior of late Ice Age Paleoindian hunter-gatherers on the northwestern Great Plains and in the western Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi River Valley. For the next several years, his research will revolve around the Clary Ranch project in southwestern Nebraska. This interdisciplinary project is designed to track organizational responses of Paleoindian hunter-gatherers to changes in food resource availability, distribution, and predictability across the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. His recent publications include: "Palaeoindian Subsistence Behavior at the Clary Ranch Site, Nebraska, USA" (2002, Antiquity 76:311-312, with Hill et al.), "Season of Bison Mortality at Three Plains Archaic Kills in Wyoming" (1998, Plains Anthropologist 43:5-26, with L.B. Niven), "Silver Mound" (1998, In Archaeology of Prehistoric Native America: An Encyclopedia, edited by G. Gibbon, pp. 769-770. Garland Publishing, New York), "Cutmarks, Impacts, and Carnivores at the Casper Site Bison Bonebed" (1997, In 1993 Bone Modification Conference, edited by L.A. Hannus et al., pp. 136-157. Sioux Falls, South Dakota), "Size Comparison of the Mill Iron Site Bison Calcanea" (1996, In The Mill Iron Site, edited by G.C. Frison, pp. 231-237. University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque), "A Further Evaluation of the San Jon Site, New Mexico" (1995, Plains Anthropologist 40:369-390, with V.T. Holliday and D.J. Stanford), "Paleoindian Projectile Points from the Vicinity of Silver Mound (47JA21), Jackson County, Wisconsin" (Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology 19:223-259).
