Eric received his PhD in Anthropology/Archaeology from Harvard University in 2021, and has since held postdocs at the University of Iceland (Fulbright Fellowship) and Brown University (Cogut Humanities Scholar). Eric was recently awarded an NWO Veni for his project "Living Stonework: Indigenous Ceremonial Landscapes, Colonial Palimpsests, and Transatlantic Collaborative Archaeology". As a collaboration with the Ramapough Munsee-Lenape Nation of New Jersey, Living Stonework combines the methods of landscape archaeology with an analysis of Dutch and American archives to help identify, contextualize, and ultimately protect ceremonial stone landscape features of the Indigenous Northeast. These at-risk features have been largely neglected by archaeologists in part because many were destroyed (or transformed) by settler-colonial farming infrastructure from the seventeenth century to today.
