General Interest/Area of Focus
Joseph Galloy is an archaeologist with primary research interests
in the prehistory of the American Bottom region of southwestern
Illinois, although he has also conducted fieldwork in Missouri
and Honduras. As Assistant Coordinator for the American Bottom
Survey Division, he manages the Division laboratory in Wood River,
Illinois, and oversees investigations associated with the New
Mississippi River Crossing and FAP-310 projects.
Galloy’s background includes more than a decade of cultural
resource management experience, including the direction of corporate
CRM programs. He is a firm believer in the value of CRM and its
necessary ties to academic archaeology, as his doctoral dissertation
was made possible by data generated through CRM research (much
of which was conducted by ITARP).
Galloy recently completed his Ph.D. at Harvard, where he studied
Mesoamerican and North American archaeology. His dissertation
examined Late Woodland settlement dynamics and social interaction
in the American Bottom. However, his interests are diverse, and
include other culture areas, time periods, and bridge other fields.
For example, he has published a paper in Applied Semiotics on
the role of coins and bank notes in reifying nationalist conceptions
of the past, as well as other papers on Classic Maya households
in Honduras and Archaic lithics and settlement patterns in northern
Illinois.
