Sara Anderson (she/her) serves as the Director of Outreach at Archaeology Southwest, a role she embraced upon relocating from Iowa to Arizona.

Sara’s academic journey began with a B.A. in Anthropology and Ancient Civilizations from the University of Iowa in 2012. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her position, having earned an M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2019, specializing in Professional Archaeology and holding a certification in Digital Humanities. Her diverse interests encompass feminist archaeology, experimental archaeology, faunal tool analysis, legacy data research, digital applications for archaeological research (including photogrammetry), social media content development, and public outreach initiatives.

While Sara’s early career focused primarily on prehistoric and historic archaeological sites in Iowa, she has also undertaken projects in Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and Arizona. Although the Midwest holds a special place in her heart, Sara was drawn to Arizona by the region’s captivating beauty and intriguing archaeological history.

In her current role, Sara is enthusiastic about deepening her understanding of the past, fostering collaboration with Archaeology Southwest’s dedicated staff and volunteers, and learning about the people, both past and present, who have called the Sonoran Desert home.

For inquiries, Sara can be reached via email or telephone at (520) 882-6946, ext. 16, or (520) 849-6474.
