Emily Eklund

Emily Eklund's research explores Bronze Age Mongolian mobile pastoralist landscapes using an innovative research design that combines archaeological geophysics, geochemistry, and traditional archaeological methods. Her work examines the dynamic relationships between mobile communities and their landscapes through detailed analysis of monumentality and landscape archaeology, revealing how pastoralists negotiated their physical and social worlds. Emily has had the opportunity to work on several projects in North America, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia, and has helped lead the Tarvagatai Valley Project in north-central Mongolia. She also worked professionally as an archaeologist in cultural resource management for over five years throughout the Midwest and Northeast United States.
