Jack M. Broughton

Jack Broughton is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Utah and Adjunct Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at the Utah Museum of Natural History. He was educated at California State University, Chico (B.A., 1986; M.A. 1988) and the University of Washington (Ph.D., 1995). His primary research interest lies in understanding prehistoric human foraging behavior and the role that past hunter-gatherers played in structuring their faunal landscapes. This interest is pursued through the quantitative application of optimal foraging models to the zooarchaeological record of human subsistence behavior in western North America. His research has appeared in journals such as the Journal of Archaeological Science, Quaternary Research, The Condor, The Ibis, American Antiquity, Copeia, Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, as well as monographs published by the University of California Press.
