Dr. Jon Marcoux (M.A., University of Alabama; Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) has over ten years experience carrying out field archaeology and laboratory research projects. Dr. Marcoux has published articles exploring late prehistoric mortuary practices and the role of long-distance exchange and craft production in the political economy of late prehistoric Mississippian chiefdoms (ca. A.D. 1100-1500). Dr. Marcoux's dissertation research focused on the strategies that Cherokee households enacted while adapting to the social and political disruptions (e.g., disease, warfare, and large scale population displacements) that followed European contact ca. A.D.1670-1740.

In past cultural resource management projects, Dr. Marcoux has led large-scale archaeological surveys for the U.S. Army at Fort Benning, Georgia; supervised numerous testing and data recovery excavation projects at archaeological sites in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi; and conducted multivariate quantitative analyses on ceramic assemblages recovered from Woodland, Mississippian, and Historic period archaeological sites across the Southeast. Dr. Marcoux is a project manager at our Charleston area office.
