Research Interests:

Diane Hanson's specialty is Cultural Resource Management. She came to the Department of Anthropology from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers where she was the senior district archaeologist. Many of her courses support the cultural resource management tract.

Her research interests concentrate on late pre-contact people of coastal Alaska. She is currently working on a faunal assemblage from Uivvaq – a site north of Point Hope, and is preparing a research proposal to conduct a survey of upland sites in the Aleutian Islands.

Diane Hanson is also president of the Alaska Consortium of Zooarchaeologists, an interest group of the Alaska Anthropological Association composed of agency and academic zooarchaeologists, students, museum curators and other individuals interested in northern research. In the past she participated as the president and board member of the Alaska Anthropological Association.
