SUMMARY

 

Dr. E. Christian Wells is founding Director of the Office of Sustainability, Deputy Director of the Patel School of Global Sustainability, and Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. He received his B.A. from Oberlin College and his M.A. and Ph.D. in Anthropology from Arizona State University. He is an environmental archaeologist, whose principal scholarly interests include geoarchaeology and geoforensic archaeology, cultural and ecological trajectories of long-term socionatural systems, the influence of environmental worldview on economic decision making, outcome-driven sustainability science, place-based engagement pedagogy, and quantitative modeling and analysis of anthropogenic soil data.

 

As Coordinator of the Cultural Soilscapes Research Group, he seeks to understand the land-use legacies established by pre-modern agrarian communities and the consequences of those legacies for contemporary farmers in less developed countries. One of his primary contributions has been to demonstrate the varying small-scale chemical changes to soil surfaces caused by ancient populations, which has led to new ways of detecting and studying human impacts on landscapes. Over the past 15 years, he has undertaken field research in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, and Mexico with funding from the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, the National Geographic Society, and other agencies. His current research encompasses Project Roatán, a binational collaborative research program and archaeology field school in sustainable tourism and heritage preservation on Roatán Island, Honduras.

 

He is Archaeology Division Secretary of the American Anthropological Association, Associate Editor for Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, and Editorial Committee Member for the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development. He has written or edited seven books and journal issues, including Global Tourism (with S. M. Lyon), Dimensions of Ritual Economy (with P. A. McAnany), Mesoamerican Ritual Economy (with K. L. Davis-Salazar), and Advances in Geoarchaeological Approaches to Anthrosol Chemistry (with R. E. Terry), as well as more than 85 articles, chapters, and reviews. At USF, he teaches a number of courses that integrate these topics, including graduate seminars in Soils in Archaeological Research and Economic Anthropology, undergraduate seminars in Campus Ecology and Soil and Culture, and courses in Archaeology, Mesoamerican Archaeology, Quantitative Methods, and Advanced Quantitative Methods.
