Research Interests: Paul White specializes in historical and industrial archaeology. His research interests include ethnohistory, landscape archaeology, and the study of industrialization and colonialism. He has worked in several states, as well as in Nevis and New Zealand, the country of his birth. This fieldwork has been conducted in a range of contexts, including in the U.S. for the National Park Service, Forest Service, Historic American Engineering Record, and Environmental Protection Agency. For the last five years, Dr. White’s research has concentrated on exploring historical connections between the mining industry and Native American land dispossession in the United States. He recently conducted archaeological and ethnohistoricalresearch in Death Valley, California, where he examined recurrent conflicts at water springs between miners and generations of three Timbisha Shoshone families. He plans to conduct similar work in Alaska and is currently coauthoring a book on the archaeology of North American mining. Select Publications White, Paul J. 2006.
