Brittany is a Senior Archaeologist with Far Western. She has archaeological experience in bioarchaeology in the U.S. and internationally and has 10 years of experience in cultural resource management in England, the Midwest, California, and Nevada. This work built upon fundamentals gained during her doctoral dissertation analysis of Romano-British human-animal commingled cremation burials and their expression of medicine, socio-economic identity, memory, and the afterlife.
Since joining Far Western in 2022, Brittany has analyzed unidentified skeletal remains for NAGPRA repatriation for the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. She also worked as the osteological lead for Caltrans work in the eastern Sierra Nevada, the U.S. Navy in the Channel Islands, and Santa Clara Valley Water District in central California. Additionally, she conducted workshops with tribes to provide introductory osteological training for those working as monitors.
Brittany is an active member of the Register of Professional Archaeologists, American Association of Biological Anthropology, Society of American Archaeology, and Society of California Archaeology. She is currently working towards achieving American Board of Forensic Anthropology Diplomate status.
