## Episode 27: Ryan Harke
Originally aired 12 January 2018 on bullsradio.org
Guest Ryan M. Harke is a PhD Candidate in archaeology at USF. He grew up west of St. Louis, Missouri, earning his BS in Anthropology at Missouri State University in 2008, and he later earned his MA in Applied Anthropology from USF in 2012. In between degree programs, Ryan spent a couple years working for cultural resource management (CRM) archaeology firms throughout the Midwest and Southeast United States, and worked as a public archaeology coordinator for the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) at Flagler College, respectively. He is actively involved in Florida archaeology projects across the state, and teaches Introduction to Anthropology and Introduction to Archaeology at USF.
Ryan’s research interests combine anthropological archaeology with the life sciences. He is a Florida (prehistoric) archaeologist primarily interested in the relationship between small-scale foraging economies and fragile ecosystems. As such, he studies the Florida Keys and its aboriginal occupants. Ryan uses a method called sclerochronology (performed on archaeological and modern shells) to determine past environment, climate, and the seasonality of occupation at island sites. In so doing, he is able to ask questions about settlement patterns, resource exploitation, and even cultural affiliation.
