Amanda has worked in cultural resource management since 2006 and has been with Far Western’s Great Basin Branch in Carson City since 2016. She earned her MA in Anthropology/Archaeology from University of Nevada, Reno in 2019. Archaeological field work throughout the desert west and neighboring regions has afforded Ms. Hartman the opportunity to observe the geographic range of materials that culminated in graduate research investigating Paleoindian mobility patterns through the lens of geometric morphometrics and provenience modeling in paleoclimatic context. She has led crews on numerous survey projects that have documented a wide variety of resources including rock art, rockshelters, arborglyphs, and townsites. She also has experience in data recovery efforts focusing on precontact, contact-era, and Euroamerican resources. She has prepared technical reports and worked to develop contexts for National Register evaluation.
