معرفی
Gregory Hodgins is an Assistant Research Professor of Dendrochronology and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, where he directs the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Lab. His work focuses on radiocarbon dating methodologies, archaeological chronology, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. He holds a PhD in Accelerator Mass Spectrometry and has contributed to interdisciplinary projects in North America, Asia, and South America.
Research interests include: radiocarbon dating innovation, prehistoric and historic human-environment interactions, domestication of animals (horses, sheep), and the chronology of archaeological sites ranging from Clovis-era settlements to Olmec ceremonial complexes. His technical expertise extends to wiggle-matching techniques, marine reservoir age analysis, and isotope studies in bone, shell, and lime mortar materials.
Notable projects include studies of Mongolian Altai saddles, Patagonian horse domestication, Olmec-Maya ceremonial complexes via lidar, and the Naco Clovis site. His work bridges archaeology, geoscience, and conservation, with applications to art forgery detection through microgram paint dating and analysis of historical building materials.
