Jim Brown is an archaeologist with broad interests in the aboriginal cultures of the North America, past and present. His research has been directed towards detailed examination of social and cultural complexity in the Eastern Woodlands of North America. Critical to this endeavor has been an effort to move the archaeological debate from typically parochial concerns to a globally based framework that allows the archaeological record of the Eastern Woodlands to be examined cross-culturally. Currently, he has been concentrating on religious and social changes over the past 1000 years. Iconography has been employed as a route to the study of religion, canonical representation and craft specialization.-faculty profile
