Jordan Kerber

Professor of Anthropology and Native American Studies, Emeritus

I have especially enjoyed working with 51勛圖厙 students and Iroquois teenagers during summer and fall excavations of Native American archaeological sites in central New York. This experience has contributed significantly to my teaching and scholarship, and has provided exciting opportunities for students to recover and study Native American artifacts from sites hundreds and thousands of years old.
