Lisa Lauria Entered 1997 lml2s@virginia.edu
My focus is the archaeology of the late prehistoric and historic periods in Eastern North America. I have worked on both Native American and colonial European sites. My other research interests include the history of American archaeology, public archaeology, NAGPRA, and cultural representation. I incorporate these varied interests in my dissertation research that examines the social lives of the Susquehannock Indians in the sixteenth through early eighteenth centuries. Before entering the program, I worked in the Archaeology section of The State Museum of Pennsylvania. I have spent six field seasons at Ephrata Cloister, an eighteenth-century German religious settlement, and one season at the Hershey site, a seventeenth-century Susquehannock village. I am currently involved in an archaeological research project at the Monacan Indian village site of Monasukapanough here in Charlottesville.
