James Schoenwetter

Schoenwetter is an archeological palynologist who studied with Paul Martin (Martin and Schoenwetter, 1960) at the University of Arizona, but graduated from Southern Illinois University (Schoenwetter, 1967). His research has primarily focused on archeological sites, including historical archeology. He is one of the first to publish on the palynology of adobe (Schoenwetter and Limon, 1982; Schoenwetter and Gregory, 1987). And, Schoenwetter is one of the first palynologists to work as a consulting palynologists, whose research primarily has been published in site reports.

Schoenwetter has research interests in prehistoric cultural ecology, applications of pollen analysis in archaeology, and research methodology. Schoenwetter directs the department's palynology laboratory, which has been designed as a teaching facility. Contracted pollen studies also provide students with opportunities to develop palynological expertise. Pollen research by Schoenwetter and his students has involved a variety of sites in Mesoamerica, North America, and Europe. He has directed archaeological and botanical fieldwork in the Midwest and Southwest, California, Oaxaca, Zacatecas, Jalisco, England, and France. He is currently engaged in pollen analyses of historical sites in the American Southwest and the French pre-Alps, Mesolithic sites in the English midlands and Pennines, and Salado and Pueblo sites in Arizona and New Mexico.

Recent publications include:
Applications of Pollen Analysis in Landscape Archaeology in Earth Patterns (ed. W. Kelso, 1990); Lessons From an Alternative View, in Powers of Observation (eds. Sarah M. Nelson and Alice B. Kehoe, 1990); and Palynology in Pioneer and Military Memorial Park Archaeological Project in Phoenix, Arizona, 1990-1992 (ed. K. J. Schroeder, 1994).
