Research:
Christopher M. Stojanowski is interested in the short and long-term effects of microevolution and demography on human community formation, manifestations of identity and ethnicity and transformation in community organization. His research focuses on both colonial period processes of tribal ethnogenesis and long-term relationships between cultural and biological variation. Stojanowski's interest in modeling long-term relational processes requires use of archaeological data. Therefore, his research is morphological in scope and primarily focused on the dentition.
