Jayson Gill is an anthropologically trained archaeologist specializing in Pleistocene hominin behavior and digital methods. His research broadly deals with lithic technological variability and change during the Pleistocene of Eurasia and the relationships between behavior, biological evolution, and environments. His particular focus is on the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic techno-periods in the Armenian Highlands and southern Caucasus, as well as the United Kingdom. Along with more traditional qualitative and quantitative methods of lithic analysis, he applies 3D digitization and geometric morphometric techniques. Of importance to his research is the application of cultural evolutionary theory in tandem with optimality modeling from behavioral ecology to understand both how and why technologies vary within a neo-Darwinian framework. Currently, Dr. Gill directs the Pleistocene behavioral landscapes of northern Armenia field project in collaboration with scholars from the Armenian Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography, Yerevan State University, King’s College London, the University of Winchester, and the University of Connecticut. His experience in archaeology also includes cultural resource management work across the United States.
