New Post on Then Dig!

August 26, 2011 in publications

My blog post on “Shovels:Regional Diversity in One of Our Most Indispensable Tools” can be read on both the Then Dig site and my own blog, Farther Along…I was asked by my colleague Terry Brock to contribute a peer reviewed (whatever than means in blog world) post for an “issue” of the blog this summer…the theme of his special issue was archeological tools…my post appeared July 28, 2011.

Then Dig is a group blog that centers on the archeological short-form. Conceived after a popular blog carnival leading up to the “Blogging Archaeology” session at the 76th meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, Then Dig intends to bring the best of archaeological blogging together in one place.

Then Dig is hosted by the Archaeological Research Facility at the University of California, Berkeley.

Farther Along…

August 25, 2011 in publications

Check out my blog–Farther Along.  Like any good narcissist of my generation, I have been blogging since 2003…blogging about anthropology, archeology, local & regional history, my personal life, popular culture, what have you.

Why the Name “Farther Along…”?

The name comes from the traditional song “Farther Along”–long a favorite of artists such as The Osborn Brothers, the Flying Burrito Bros., Emmy Lou Harris, George Hamilton IV, Sam Cooke, Dolly Parton, Mississippi John Hurt, Ray Price, the Oakridge Boys, Rose Maddox, Elvis Presley, The Byrds, David Grisman and the Bad Livers.

“Farther along we’ll know more about it.
Farther along we’ll understand why.
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine…
we’ll understand it all by and by…”

You can find links to many of my research projects under the “Research” tab in the main menu above.  Not all of my projects have a web presence yet, and many are unfinished…but hey, some information is better than none!  More web-stuff and links to PDFs of publications will be coming soon…so keep an eye on this section….

Welcome!

August 23, 2011 in Uncategorized

Welcome to the web home of Jamie Brandon–an anthropologist living in southwestern Arkansas.

I am the Arkansas Archeological Survey’s Research Station Archeologist at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia and an Assistant Professor of anthropology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. In this “dual” position I teach anthropology courses for SAU’s Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and I am responsible for the archaeological resources in my station territory–11 counties in southwestern Arkansas.

I’m updating the design of this website for the first time since 2006 (this site has been around since 2003)…so bear with me.
