bocinsky • data-driven archaeology

### R. Kyle Bocinsky, PhD

I am a **computational anthropologist** interested in human responses to environmental change. I am currently an assistant research professor in the <a href="https://www.dri.edu/earth-ecosystem-sciences" target="_blank">Division of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences at the Desert Research Institute</a>, research associate at <a href="http://www.crowcanyon.org" target="_blank">Crow Canyon Archaeological Center</a> and adjuct research faculty in the <a href="https://anthro.wsu.edu/" target="_blank">Department of Anthropology at Washington State University</a>. I live in Missoula, Montana.
 
I develop <a href="software.html">software</a>—in <a href="http://www.r-project.org" target="_blank">*R*</a>, <a href="https://www.python.org" target="_blank">*Python*</a>, and <a href="http://grass.osgeo.org" target="_blank">*GRASS*</a>—to support reproducible research in archaeology. I am particularly interested in scalable analysis, high performance computing, and data visualization. Most of my research has focused on the Ancestral Pueblo Southwest (as part of the <a href="http://veparchaeology.org/" target="_blank">Village Ecodynamics Project</a>), but I also have projects on the <a href="https://www.academia.edu/8672802/Extrinsic_site_defensibility_and_landscape-based_archaeological_inference_An_example_from_the_Northwest_Coast" target="_blank">Northwest Coast of North America</a>, sub-Saharan Africa, and on the <a href="https://www.academia.edu/12513276/Comment_on_Agriculture_facilitated_permanent_human_occupation_of_the_Tibetan_Plateau_after_3600_B.P._" target="_blank">Tibetan Plateau</a>. Most recently, I joined the <a href="http://nativewaters-aridlands.com/" target="_blank">Native Waters on Arid Lands project</a>, where we work collaboratively with Native American tribes across the West to understand the impacts of climate change and to evaluate adaptation options for sustaining water resources and agriculture on tribal reservations.
