John L. Fagan, Ph.D., R.P.A.,(AINW Vice President) is a 50-year veteran of specialized lithic technology studies. John studied under Don Crabtree, a pioneer in the field, and has worked with numerous other experts. John has published extensively, he is on the editorial board of the journal Lithic Technology, and he has taught classes and lithic technology workshops for over 50 years.
Terry Lee Ozbun, M.A., R.P.A., (AINW Senior Archaeologist) studied lithic technology under Dr. Jeffrey Flenniken and was awarded the Crabtree Memorial Scholarship in Lithic Technology during graduate studies at Washington State University. Terry has published articles and taught classes in lithic technological studies for over 40 years.
Meghan Johnson, M.A., R.P.A., (AINW Senior Archaeologist) is a flintknapper and lithic analyst with over a decade of experience. Since 2015, she has helped to design and instruct lithic technology workshops for CRM professionals, Tribal members, and university students. Her work integrates hands-on flintknapping with analytical approaches to better understand lithic reduction sequences, technological organization, and variability within and across lithic assemblages. Her research interests center on experimental archaeology with an emphasis on debitage analysis through reduction sequence modeling. She is also actively engaged in public outreach and education, working to bring the reduction sequence modeling strategy of lithic analysis to diverse audiences. Her broader professional focus includes the application of lithic analysis within the CRM practice in the Pacific Northwest.
Kelley Prince Martinez, M.S., R.P.A., (AINW Senior Archaeologist) focused on ground stone tool technology for her Master’s thesis at Portland State University. Employing experimental archaeology, Kelley promotes a fine-grained technological approach to ground stone analysis through replication and use wear studies. Other research interests include the development of hunter-gatherer social complexity in the Lower Columbia, public archaeology, and landscape archaeology.
