About the Editors
Elizabeth A. Bollwerk is an Archaeological Analyst for the Digital Archaeological
Archive of Comparative Slavery (DAACS, w ww.daacs.org) , which is housed at
Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her research examines the geographic dis-
tributions of pipe and ceramic attributes with Geographic Information Systems soft-
ware to explore Late Woodland and Historic period exchange networks and social
systems in the Middle Atlantic region of the United States. Her other research inter-
ests include digital archaeological data management and analysis and digital public
archaeology.
Shannon Tushingham is the Assistant Director of the Museum of Anthropology at
Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Her research program focuses
on understanding evolutionary trends in human-environmental dynamics over the
long-term historical record and includes projects developed in collaboration with
Native American descendant communities in the Pacifi c Northwest Coast and
California. She is also a specialist in the development of chemical residue extraction
techniques in studies directed at understanding the ritual, medicinal, and recre-
ational use of psychoactive plants by worldwide human cultures.
