	PROGRAM COMMITTEE David Bailey, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Geosciences (dbailey@hamilton.edu) Bailey earned his Ph.D. from Washington State University. His dissertation focused on geochemistry and petrogenesis of Miocene volcanic rocks in the Powder River Volcanic Field, NE Oregon. He is a recipient of National Science Foundation ILI and CCLI Grants, and is a Research Associate of the New York State Museum. His current research focuses on the history of igneous and tectonic activity in the northeastern United States, and on the mineralogy of New York State. He is the author of numerous peer reviewed papers, conference abstracts, and field trip guides. George Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology (tjones@hamilton.edu) G. Tom Jones, who chairs the anthropology department, has conducted archaeology fieldwork in Nevada's Great Basin for the past 16 summers, in addition to time spent studying the prehistorical archaeological record of San Juan Island, Washington. Jones earned his Ph.D. in 1984 from the University of Washington. He co-edited Quantifying Diversity in Archaeology for the Cambridge University Press. He was recently awarded the Samuel and Helen Lang Prize for excellence in teaching and received a Sabbatical Fellowship from the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia.

HIGHLIGHTS Combined Resources Geoarchaeology Highlights Combined Resources The geosciences and archaeology programs are housed in adjacent teaching and research facilities in Hamilton's state-of-the-art Science Center. Geoarchaeology students have optimum access to laboratory space and analytic instruments in both disciplines. Fieldwork Opportunities Geoarchaeology majors may do field research in both geology and archaeology, studying at sites stretching from Antarctica and the European Alps to the Florida Keys and Hawaii. They also regularly do field work in the Central New York region surrounding the College. Renowned Teaching-Scholars Faculty members in the geosciences and archaeology programs are highly regarded scholars and accomplished teachers. They include a New York State teacher of the year, several winners of campus Excellence in Teaching awards and numerous recipients of prestigious research grants. In the classroom, the laboratory and the field, the emphasis is on intensive student-teacher interaction and hands-on training in research skills. Make a Difference Geoarchaeology is a growing field in part because it provides the cutting-edge analytical tools and theoretical concepts to measure and understand climate change. Geoarchaeologists do real-world science with the potential to make a difference in the lives of future generations.
