ABOUT

Jonathan A. Hanna, PhD, RPA

This is the personal website of Jonathan Hanna, island archaeologist in Grenada, West Indies. I received my PhD in Anthropology from the Pennsylvania State University in 2018, after having completed my dissertation on the precolumbian archaeology of Grenada, Ancient Human Behavioral Ecology and Colonization in Grenada, West Indies
As an anthropological archaeologist in the Caribbean, my research centers on the intersection of human-environmental interaction, conservation and heritage policy, and sustainable economic development. I have spent much of the past 15 years living and working in Grenada, first as a Peace Corps Volunteer (2010-2013), then as a Fulbright Scholar (2017-18), and then as Curator of the Grenada National Museum (2020-2021). Currently I work in cultural resources management (CRM) in the US, but I am forever trying to get back to the Caribbean.

Key Interests: Caribbean archaeology, human behavioral ecology (HBE), remote sensing/GIS, domestic economies, domestic ritual, public/community archaeology, archaeological prospection, radiocarbon analysis, anthrosols, geochemistry
