Welcome back to the UMMAA alum highlight. Today, UMMAA would like to highlight Dr. Ashley Lemke, who received her PhD from U-M in 2016 and is now an associate professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a board member of the Advisory Council on Underwater Archaeology (ACUA).
After receiving her PhD from Michigan, Ashley Lemke became an assistant professor and later an associate professor at the University of Texas at Arlington. She was also chair of ACUA. Lemke has become a leading scholar in the archaeology of hunter-gatherers. She has worked on numerous underwater and terrestrial projects in the Arctic, Americas, and Europe. She is the author of The Architecture of Hunting, editor of Foraging in the Past: Archaeological Studies of Hunter-Gatherer Diversity, and coeditor of Caribou Hunting in the Upper Great Lakes: Archaeological, Ethnographic, and Paleoenvironmental Perspectives. Lemke recently launched a new Great Lakes/Underwater Archaeology program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (https://acuaonline.org/deep-thoughts/underwater-archaeology-in-the-great-lakes-working-with-the-community-and-a-new-program/).
Congratulations, Ashley! We here at UMMAA are excited to keep up with your excellent research!
