Edward W. Herrmann studies the archaeology and past landscapes of pre-Columbian North America, with a focus on Native American earthen mounds and settlement sites in the U.S. Midwest and Midcontinent. His work combines methods like radiocarbon dating, geophysical surveys (such as ground-penetrating radar and magnetometry), and spatial analysis to reconstruct how ancient people built structures and used the land, and how the landscape itself changed after the last Ice Age.
