Jamie Brandon

I am the Arkansas Archeological Survey's Research Station Archeologist in Northwest Arkansas and a Research Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. In this "dual" position I teach courses in the Anthropology Department at the UofA and I am responsible for conducting research and outreach in my station territory--12 counties in Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas Ozarks.

My current research interests are within archaeology and cultural studies--archaeology of the southeastern United States (both historical and prehistoric), race construction, representation and power relations in the American South, collective cultural memory, descendant communities, material culture, landscape analysis and critical archaeology. I also have a growing interest in the anthropology of science, industrial archaeology, public culture and critical theory.
