Dr. Michelle Turner, PhD, will join Crow Canyon Archaeological Center as an independent scholar to lead cutting-edge research while connecting the Northern Chaco Outliers Project to broader research on the Chacoan system.
Turner will work closely with Crow Canyon researchers to explore the development of the Lakeview Group Chacoan community around the Haynie, Wallace and Ida Jean sites. Through pottery analysis, she will help Crow Canyon reveal the Lakeview Group’s place within the cultural landscape of the Chacoan world.
The postdoctoral program at Crow Canyon is funded for two years through current endowments. Turner will be part of the Research Institute at Crow Canyon and will be mentored by Kari Schleher, Crow Canyon archaeological lab manager.
