BIO:
Tim Everhart is an ABD Ph.D. candidate interested in the construction and use of monuments and symbols by precontact Native societies. Specifically, his research focuses on four interrelated domains of inquiry: (1) the social processes involved in monument making and craft production and the long histories of subsequent engagement with these landscapes/monuments; (2) the ways historical, archaeological, and antiquarian knowledge production shape popular and scholarly narratives of the past; (3) building capacity and broadening frameworks of Indigenous archaeology to accommodate knowledge co-creation in deep-time contexts within regions where decedent communities were removed; and (4) the role of ‘ancient’ monuments and art in shaping contemporary discourse, facilitating social memory, and shaping landscapes of cultural heritage. Animating and binding these domains together are the pre-contact Scioto Hopewell societies ca. 1-400 CE of southern Ohio where Tim has worked for over a decade.
