Scott Ingram

Assistant Professor

Scott Ingram is an anthropologist, archaeologist, and environmental social scientist. His research objectives are to:

1) Contribute insights toward understanding contemporary problems such as human vulnerability to climate change and social and ecological sustainability by investigating long-term human and environmental interactions.
2) Advance understanding of classic archaeological problems (e.g., cultural transitions, regional depopulations, “collapses”) with regional-scale settlement and environmental data and innovative methods and analysis.
