David E. Witt is a registered professional archaeologist and Ph.D. graduate from the Department of Anthropology of the State University of New York at Buffalo. He has also earned two Masters of Arts degrees, in anthropology (focusing in archaeology) and geography (focusing in GIS and remote sensing).
His dissertation project focused on lithic technology as a material proxy of cultural identity within Chacoan outliers and local Puebloan communities within the Middle San Juan Region, and how these communities participated within the expanding Chacoan hegemony during the Pueblo II (A.D. 900 - 1140).
Theoretically, he is interested in the nature and role of borders and boundaries in cultural development, and their interaction with hegemony, phenomenology, agency, and identity.
