Quartermaine Archaeology

One of the ongoing research interests of Quartermaine Archaeology is that of hydraulic society and its harnessing of mass human labour for monumental public works.  This is represented in the American southeast  by various earthen mound structures, the southwest by pueblo complexes, and various other examples in locations worldwide.  

By studying these monuments to human endeavour, we can learn many things about how prehistoric peoples utilized riverine and maritime resources to make their environment work for and with them.  A great number of their solutions to habitation in these environments are equally applicable in our desire to develop various commercial and residential areas today.  

Additionally, Quartermaine Archaeology works with research that includes areas outside of the United States.  Some of the subjects of ongoing study are:

• Collated translations of the extant Pramid Texts (Egypt) from the Vth through VIIth Dynasty of the terminal Old Kingdom
• The concept of magik in human culture
  
• Mortuary behavior
  
• Prehistoric and historic warfare
• Prehistoric ceramics
• Burial field recovery methods
