After working at two archaeological sites along a beach and river, Analise wanted to learn how archaeology can be done under water. She dove right in, now pursuing an M.S. in Anthropology at Florida State University after completing her B.A. at Texas A&M University. Her research interests are focused on when, how, and what the lives of the first Americans were like entering North America thousands of years ago, examining once-dry sites that now lie under water. She hopes to continue this research through earning her Ph.D., and one day become a professor contributing to establishing submerged prehistory as a permanent subfield of archaeology.
