Coronado Historic Site
Our Staff
Jaimie Adams
Regional Site Manager
Jaimie Adams considers herself a "four-field" anthropologist, although her focus has been on archaeology with an emphasis in Plains and Southwestern region cultures. Her research interests focus on both historic and pre-historic spiritual belief systems, ritualistic and ceremonial practices, and rock imagery analysis. Jaimie strongly believes in practicing ethical archaeological methods and actively participate in decolonizing the field of anthropology. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Wyoming and is completing her Master of Arts in Anthropology at Eastern New Mexico University.
