  • Sarah Oas, cyberSW Data Specialist and Traditional...

Sarah Oas’s interest in archaeology, and her pathway to working in the American Southwest, center around the beautiful and complex relationships between people and plants, relationships that continue to be central to daily life in the ways we incorporate plants into our foods, medicines, crafts, and homes. Oas has studied ancient foodways and environments in numerous parts of the world, and began working in the Southwest in the 2010s, where she focused on studying the histories of foodways and cuisine in the Ancestral Zuni region. Ultimately working to bring together not only ancient plant remains, but also numerous other ceramic, ground stone, faunal, and architectural materials at household, village, and regional scales, her research asks questions about how foodways persist and change through periods of social transformation and climatic uncertainty.
