I retired from actively teaching in 2011 and am now a Professor of the Graduate School (Anthropology) at the University of California at Berkeley. I am one of the founders of the Center for Digital Archaeology (CoDA), a non-profit company born in 2011. Currently I am its Creative Director and its President. and a director of the UC Berkeley Multimedia Authoring Center for Teaching in Anthropology (MACTiA). My research has focused on the transformation of early agricultural (Neolithic) societies. I have directed and published  archaeological excavations in Southeast Europe and  Turkey, at the site of Çatalhöyük. My current research focuses on the life-histories of buildings and the multisensorial construction of place. Much of my  recent practice of archaeology incorporates the utilization of digital, especially multimedia, technology in the presentation and archiving of the process of archaeological interpretation.  By now I am recognized internationally as one of the leaders of digital education, media literacy, and digital publishing in archaeology. This interest in multimedia grows out of a lifelong passion for music, puppets and cultivating illusions of reality.
