Seth Brewington

Environmental archaeologist specializing in the zooarchaeology of the Viking-Age North Atlantic

My current research focuses primarily on the human-environmental dynamics of small-scale societies in the North Atlantic. In particular, I am interested in understanding how resilient and sustainable social-ecological systems were developed and maintained in marginal environments.
