My Biography

Dr. Mack’s areas of expertise are ceramics of the southern Cascades of Oregon and California, including vessels and figurines, known as Siskiyou Utility Ware. Having received a PhD from the University of Oregon, her researched focused on the use of various obsidian sources in these same areas and the frequency of use of particular sources during various time periods over the last 10,000 years, particularly within the drainage of the Upper Klamath River of Oregon and California. Research projects have included the archaeology resources and rock art of National Center West (Ten Sleep, Wyoming), archaeology of the Upper Klamath River Drainage, and obsidian frequency and ceramics in various monographs and edited volumes.

While we remain deeply saddened by the devastating impact of the recent hurricanes in Florida and wish for a swift recovery, the Tampa Convention Center and the hotels hosting our Annual Meeting in Tampa from November 20-23 have confirmed they are "open and fully operational." We look forward to supporting the residents of Tampa and seeing you there, either in person or virtually. View a list of organizations accepting donations in Florida.
