Alex Diaz

Hello! My name is Alex Diaz, a PhD student and North American archaeologist. My broad interests are in pre-contact American archaeology, hunter-gatherer societies, and the relationship between past humans and their environments, especially the relationships between humans and animals. I received my undergraduate degree in Anthropology at the University of North Florida (2022) and my Master’s degree at Florida State University (2024). Being an avid fisherman and having lived near water most of my life, my past research has focused on trying to understand how past peoples utilized the wide range of resources provided by the coastal and estuarine environments along Florida’s coasts. When I am not thinking about Anthropology, I love being outdoors, camping, birding, fishing, and hiking.
