Professor Jamieson came to Trent in 1987 after degrees in Anthropology earned at McMaster University (B.A.), the University of Manitoba (M.A.), and Washington State University (Ph.D.) Her main areas of interest include Ontario Iroquoian culture histories and 18th and 19th century Eurocanadian domestic sites. She has undertaken field research in southern and northern Ontario, southern and northern Manitoba, and the state of Washington. Her current research concerns regional interaction and its role in sociopolitical evolution in southern Ontario’s past, the elucidation of Aboriginal settlement in the middle Trent River Valley.
