Mackie specializes in hunter-gatherers in western North America with a specific interest in the early Paleoindian period. She is currently working on the NSF-funded project Populating a Radiocarbon Database of North America with Dr. Robert Kelly. Her ongoing projects include the La Prele Mammoth site, a Clovis mammoth kill/scavenge with an associated camp, and the Bishop Mammoth. Additional research interests include photogrammetry, spatial analysis, computer simulation, quantitative methods, and identifying children in the archaeological record. She has conducted fieldwork in Wyoming, California, Nevada, and Mongolia for academic research and cultural resource management.
