Bryan Haley

Bryan Haley specializes in geophysics, remote sensing, and other high-tech methods that can be used in archaeological research. In terms of more conventional archaeology, he works primarily with prehistoric and contact-period Native American sites in the southeastern United States. He always had a strong interest in computer science. However, after spending time traveling, he realized his passion for anthropology in general and archaeology specifically. He received a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and a minor in Computer Science from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Mississippi. Through his work he is able to combine his interests in technology and culture in intriguing ways. His Master's thesis work consisted of testing how NASA-gathered satellite and airborne data can be used on mound sites in northwest Mississippi. He currently works for the Center for Archaeological Research at the University of Mississippi. He lives in Oxford, Mississippi, where he enjoys the small, southern town life.
