Biography
Jill Neitzel is an anthropological archaeologist whose research focuses on the U.S. American Southwest. Her primary interests are on how and why cultures change, with an emphasis on middle-range societies, which are societies with moderately developed sociopolitical hierarchies. She has spent the most time studying the prehistoric Southwest's best-known cases—the Hohokam of Arizona and the Chacoans of New Mexico. Her complementary interests include art, material culture, and what both reveal about peoples' identities and social lives.
Neitzel teaches undergraduate courses in cultural anthropology and archaeology. In recent years, her most frequent offerings have included:
- Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology
- Anthropology of Global Youth
- Anthropology of Sport
- Archaeology Tutorial
Neitzel also serves as the department's Undergraduate Student Advisor, the academic advisor for all anthropology majors.
