About the speaker

Jeff Hantman
Associate Professor of Anthropology
Director of the Archaeology Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Virginia

Professor Hantman's research focuses on relations between Europeans and Indians in early colonial Virginia, placing that cultural exchange into a long-term Native precolonial context through the interpretation of archaeological data. He is also interested in how history generally is presented in museums, monuments and commemorative events. Presently he is writing a long-term history of the Monacan Indian people of central and western Virginia and their role in the Jamestown event. A former member of the Governor's Commission on Historic Preservation and the Virginia Historic Landmarks Board, he has worked closely with the Monacan Indian Tribal Association on collaborative research and the repatriation of human remains and museum collections.

Author of more than 50 journal and book articles, he recently published two co-edited books, ACROSS THE CONTINENT: JEFFERSON, LEWIS AND CLARK, AND THE MAKING OF AMERICA (2004, University of Virginia Press) and MANAGING ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA (2006, Arizona State University).
