Autorenporträt
Dr. Timothy H. Ives became interested in New England archaeology in the early 1990s while working as a farm laborer in the Connecticut Valley, where ancient Native American artifacts are routinely turned up by the plow. Following his undergraduate studies, he completed the College of William and Mary's historical archaeology master's degree program in 2001, and earned a doctorate in anthropology from the University of Connecticut in 2010. He carries years of experience as a contract archaeologist, worked as a consultant for a museum, and has served as an adjunct professor. He has published research on a wide range of topics in New England archaeology and ethnohistory. A self-described "recently defrocked leftist" and emerging "radical centrist," Dr. Ives stands apart from his field for his willingness to voice critical perspectives of the Ceremonial Stone Landscape Movement, the central claim of which is that many, if not most, of the stone heaps, walls, and other structures scattered about the region's secondary forests are not vestiges of abandoned historic farmsteads but ancient Native American ceremonial constructions that require extraordinary protection from the ravages of settler colonial development. Dr. Ives currently works as principal archaeologist at the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission, though this book does not represent the views of his office.
