| Long Description | |
Diane Gifford-Gonzalez is an anthropological archaeologist specializing in zooarchaeology, African and western North American archaeology, pastoralists, gender in archaeology, and interpretive theory in archaeology. Her current research includes the Monterey Bay Historical Ecology Project, a collaborative effort with Paul Koch (Earth and Planetary Sciences) on research on animal and human paleoecology in the greater Monterey Bay region, and ongoing research on pastoralism in Niger and Kenya.
Her historic zooarchaeological research on Paa-ko/San Pedro, New Mexico, in collaboration with Mark Lycett of the University of Chicago, focuses on foodways and species selectivity as an indicator of ethnically specific cultural practices of this early colonial community.
Gifford-Gonzalez has taught graduate courses at the University of Nairobi, University of Tromsĝ, la Universidad del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Academia Sinica, Beijing, China. She has received the UC Santa Cruz Academic Senate Excellence in Teaching Award (2000) and the UC Santa Cruz Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award (2003).
She has served as President of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists, on governing boards of that society, the International Conference of Archaeozoology (ICAZ), the Society for American Archaeology, and the Archaeology Division of the American Anthropological Association and on the Academic Advisory Council of the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and the Long-Range Planning Committee of the American Anthropological Association. She presently serves as a board member of the Cabrillo College Archaeological Technology Certificate Program. She is a member of the editorial boards of African Archaeological Review, Journal of African Archaeology, and Teballs dArqueologia.
