Kennerty, Michael (Graduate Student).

Interestests: I study animal remains (zooarchaeology) to learn if food preference was an expression of social identity during the early Neolithic time period. Also, I am interested in policy issues involving anthropology: how federal agencies fund anthropological studies, the role of anthropology in the judicial system, and anthropologists' influence on policy makers.
