Mya Welch is an anthropologist and archaeologist interested in how people of the past interacted with their landscapes. They use methods like underwater archaeology, lithic (stone tool) analysis, and predictive modeling to understand mobility, seasonality, and resource use. They have worked on both terrestrial and underwater projects in Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Israel-Palestine, and Mongolia. Mya is also deeply passionate about sharing how archaeology can help humanity to understand itself better, both past and present.
