Research Activities and Interests:
Dr. Snow is an archaeologist who specializes in ethnohistoric and demographic problems. In recent years his work has led him into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) approaches to these issues. He has conducted research in Mexico and in the northeastern region of North America, where his work on the Iroquois is particularly well known. His current research includes cyberinfrastructure and the development of large GIS databases designed to explore large-scale population movements over time and space. He is also currently researching the sexual dimorphism of human handprints and hand stencils in the Upper Paleolithic caves of France and Spain.
Professional Activities:
Dr. Snow served as President of the Society for American Archaeology 2007-09. http://www.saa.org/
He served as Secretary of the Society for American Archaeology 2003-05 and Secretary of Section H (Anthropology) of the American Association for the Advancement of Science 2000-06.
