Colin Grier

At the start of 2020, I formally shifted my academic base from Pullman to the Vancouver campus of WSU. There are great advantages to being located in one’s primary study area, and I look forward to developing a strong archaeology program here that incorporates the rich Indigenous histories of the Lower Columbia. I am also engaged in building WSU’s role in the long-standing Fort Vancouver archaeological field-school. While I will miss the rolling hills and open skies of the Palouse, I am happy to be in the land of majestic mountains, towering forests and ocean breezes.
