Zenobie S. Garrett received her Ph.D. in Anthropological Archaeology from New York University in 2016 and is currently a postdoctoral fellow in 3D and VR Software Curation at the University of Oklahoma. Her research focuses on the interaction of communities, globalization, and landscape in the ancient world. She has taught a range of courses, including anthropological methods and theory, spatial analysis, and European prehistory, in a variety of academic settings. Outside of the classroom she has worked on archaeological broadcasts, blogs, and websites to promote public engagement and education.
As a landscape archaeologist, Dr. Garrett is interested in understanding why people chose to live where they did despite the challenges they may have faced. She has worked in Peru, Ireland, France, Oman, and the U.S. to explore the wide variety of living options available to humans and the unique social and environmental challenges involved in the maintenance of wherever people call home, both in the past and today. To answer these questions, she uses archaeological survey and spatial analysis to understand how past groups organized themselves and thought about the landscape around them.
Dr. Garrett has worked in Ireland since 2007 when she took part in the reexamination of the Irish National Monument of Dún Ailinne through remote sensing techniques. She currently serves as the geospatial director of the field school excavations.
