Mark Agostini, BA, MA, Brown University
Mark Agostini grew up in the town of Medfield, Massachusetts and from an early age became interested in archaeology and anthropology. He attended the University of Vermont, Burlington as an undergraduate majoring in Anthropology and Film. While there he became interested in archaeology of the American Southwest. Through the support of an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Fellowship, he completed an honors thesis exploring shifts in pottery traditions and communities of practice at sites in the Silver Creek region of East-Central Arizona. In 2016, he entered the Anthropological Archaeology PhD program at Brown University and since then has focused on methods of ceramic analysis like archaeometry and petrography while adopting new and less invasive approaches like LiDAR analysis, and surface artifact surveys of archaeological sites. His dissertation project is a collaborative archaeology partnership with the Pueblo de San Ildefonso in New Mexico, which aims to address questions concerning San Ildefonso Pueblo's archaeological and ethnographic ties to their earliest ancestral villages atop the Pajarito Plateau and in the Rio Grande Valley (1300 – 1600 CE).

Ancestors of the descendant Pueblo people living in the Tewa Basin of what is now the northern Rio Grande region of New Mexico experienced significant social, political, and economic transformations beginning in the late-thirteenth and early-fourteenth centuries. This talk summarizes the progress of a collaborative archaeological partnership with the Pueblo de San Ildefonso that investigates and builds on aspects of their historical connections to the Pajarito Plateau and their earliest ancestral village in the Rio Grande Valley called Perage (LA 41). Through LiDAR analysis, digital re-mapping, and artifact survey, this project evaluates how ancestral villages of San Ildefonso Pueblo on the Pajarito Plateau and Perage in the Rio Grande Valley contributed to the growth and development of the early Tewa cultural landscape and contemporary San Ildefonso Pueblo.
The Rising Scholars seminars are opportunities to learn from students and early career archaeologists as they share their current research or emerging methods and theories.
