Rice's investigations have dealt with the emergence of sedentism, the operation of community systems, the organizational strengths of tribal societies and the processes involved in the transition from tribes to more complex forms of social organization. Rice heads the Office of Cultural Resource Management, and he founded and edits ASU's Anthropological Field Studies.
