His research focuses on postdepositional processes, human evolution, and archaeological methodology. He has conducted fieldwork in Israel, Turkey, Egypt, Poland, Belgium, and Canada. His experimental studies on bioturbation and root growth effects on artifact displacement are foundational to understanding site integrity.
Shawn teaches both classroom-based courses and field schools, emphasizing hands-on research training. He has secured multiple grants from SSHRC, CURA, and the University of Lethbridge for projects related to Blackfoot Confederacy heritage preservation and experimental geoarchaeology.
