Dr. Monaghan has been a professional geologist and geoarchaeologist over 20 years. He is currently an Associate Research Scientist at the Glenn Black Laboratory at Indiana University and consults on CRM projects throughout the Midwest, East, and Mid-Atlantic regions. His research interest include regional and site depositional history, sedimentology, and buried archaeological site exploration. Currently, his research has focused on how large-scale Holocene climate cycles effect alluviation, human settlement and prehistoric site taphonomy. Extensively trained in Quaternary and Holocene studies, including the sedimentology and mineralogy of fluvial, lacustrine and glacial deposits, Dr. Monaghan has carried out research on sites throughout the Midwest and Northeast. He has authored over 75 CRM reports or academic publications and commonly presents his work at professional conferences. Specifically interested in Holocene environmental change and its effect on prehistoric human adaptation, he has designed and carried out regional and site-specific scaled research projects for both industry and academia. Over the past decade, he has designed deep test strategies for regionally significant pipeline and highway projects that have led to the discovery of many buried, stratified, prehistoric sites. Dr. Monaghan has undertaken geological and geoarchaeological investigations for projects in such diverse areas as the Great Lakes in Michigan, and New York, the Hudson, Lehigh, Ohio, Wabash, and Delaware valleys, and the Chesapeake-Delaware Bay area. He has a long-term professional association with Michigan State University for prehistoric research in Michigan=s Saginaw Valley. His recent monograph, Modeling Archaeological Site Burial in Southern Michigan: A Geoarchaeological Synthesis, published through Michigan State University Press with Dr. W. A. Lovis, represents the seminal work on deep testing results, methods, and guidelines for alluvial settings in the Great Lakes Region. He is currently directing the geoarchaeology portion of a project, funded through the Minnesota DOT, that will evaluate methods and techniques to discover buried archaeological resources. |
