Erick Robinson, Ph.D., RPA, is an Associate Research Professor of Climate and Archaeology in the Division of Atmospheric Sciences at the Desert Research Institute, Reno, Nevada, USA. He is also Vice President and Senior Archaeologist at Native Environment Solutions in Boise, Idaho, USA, and Visiting Scholar in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. He is Co-Leader of the Past Global Change (PAGES) International Working Group "Paleoclimate and the Peopling of the Earth (People 3000)". He specializes in geochronology, geoarchaeology, lithic technology, paleodemography, and paleoecology. He applies these methods to research on Holocene hunter-gatherers and agricultural transitions in northern Europe and western North America.  He has authored of over 50 publications, including co-editing the Springer Press book "Lithic Technological Organization and Paleoenvironmental Change: Global and Diachronic Perspectives". He was part of thelong-term National Science Foundation-funded project "Populating a Radiocarbon Database for North America", and is currently co-PI for the NSF-funded project "Hydroclimatic Variability and the Evolution of Socioecological Complexity in Dryland Farming Communities".

Dr. Susan K. Harris earned her Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara under the supervision of Dr. Michael Jochim, completing 6 field seasons as part of the Southwest German Archaeological Survey Project. She received a Fulbright Fellowship to study at the University of Tübingen, Germany and a National Science Foundation (NSF) Dissertation Improvement Grant for research on the Mesolithic in southwest Germany. She was co-Principal Investigator on a NSF-funded field project focusing on Neolithic chert resource acquisition in southwest Germany, and received a NSF  International Research Fellowship to analyze a chert quarry excavated as part of that project. Other projects include development of
