FIG Instructor: Andrew Boehm

My name is Andrew Boehm and I grew up on a farm in Iowa but have lived in Oregon since 2012. Currently I am the Deputy Director of Archaeological Science at the Archaeological Research Division within the Museum of Natural and Cultural History, University of Oregon. I have been at the museum in 2014 as a Research Assistant and in 2016 became a Research Associate after completing my PhD at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX. I have worked in nearly every western state and every corner of Oregon. My research focuses on investigating how animals and people behaved in the past, particularly animals!

FIG Assistant: Makenna

Hi everyone! My name is Makenna, and this is my second year as the Mapping Wilderness FA. I’ll be a senior this fall and I'm majoring in Anthropology (on the archaeology track) and Spatial Data Science & Technology, with a minor in Planning, Public Policy, and Management (PPPM). 
Outside of school, I'm a huge Marvel and DC nerd. Some of my favorite current comic runs are Batman, Zatanna, and Absolute Wonder Woman. I also love movies and TV—my current favorite show is Girls, and my Letterboxd top four are Kiki’s Delivery Service, But I’m a Cheerleader, Dirty Dancing, and Bottoms— please, please make assumptions about me based on that. 
 

A few other random things I love include matcha, banana iced lattes, full-art Pokémon cards, and watching Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova with my lovely roommates. I'm excited to meet everyone and help make this a great term!
