Gary Warrick is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at McMaster University. His research focuses on Iroquoian archaeology, particularly the Huron-Wendat people of southern Ontario, with an emphasis on precontact and contact-period studies. Dr. Warrick's work explores ancient diets through stable isotope analysis, European copper trade networks, and ethical stewardship of Indigenous archaeological heritage. He has contributed significantly to understanding the impact of European contact on Indigenous populations, including studies on disease-driven depopulation and material culture exchanges.
- Research Interests: Huron-Wendat archaeology, contact-period studies, Indigenous heritage management, stable isotope analysis, and Iroquoian settlement patterns.
- Key Contributions: Pioneered minimally invasive research strategies, analyzed European copper distribution, and documented precontact Iroquoian occupation of southern Ontario.
- Recent Publications: Over 16 peer-reviewed articles from 1993–2024, including influential works on Huron-Wendat diets, remote sensing methods, and Indigenous heritage policy.
