Dylan Person is a behavioral archaeologist who studies Mogollon culture sites in southwestern New Mexico. He is interested in understanding the interrelationships between artifacts, technologies, and human behavior. He earned his Master's degree at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. There, he studied how the symbolic meaning of ceramic iconography affected how people used material culture in southwestern religious expression. After graduating, he took this interest in human- object interactions to UNLV where he studies stone tool (lithic) technologies under his advisor, Dr. Barbara Roth. His UNLV research is focused on the relationship between these technological systems and social life at sites active between AD 550-1130 in the Mimbres Valley, New Mexico.
