Professional Interests
Dr. Pippin is a prehistorian/paleoecologist and has over 24 years of professional archaeological experience in the American Southwest and Great Basin. Experience in the American Southwest includes excavations in deeply stratified Archaic rockshelters (Armijo Shelter), as well as complex Chacoan and Rio Grande pueblos (Pot Creek Pueblo, Guadalupe Ruin, Salmon Ruin). This experience also incorporates two years of ethnographic research at Picuris Pueblo. Dr. Pippin also has over 15 years of experience in conducting palynological research in the American Southwest, Great Basin and Peru. Pippin's research since 1980 has focused on prehistoric hunter and gatherer adaptation in the Mojave and Great Basin deserts of southern Nevada and adjacent California. This research has been supported by several multi-year contracts with the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Air Force and National Park Service. During this time, he has also directed archaeological research programs in Oregon, Idaho, California, and other areas in Nevada.
