Dr. Schneider's research interests include the prehistory
and ecology of the California deserts; hunter-gatherer economic
systems; and evaluation of the applications of geochemical
and geophysical techniques used for dating surface archaeological
remains. She has conducted extensive archaeological research
in the Mojave and Colorado deserts, and has extended research
interest to the Middle East. She is especially interested
in the acquisition of materials and the production of stone
tools used by women in prehistory. The development, design,
and field testing of HIPROTECT, an advanced-technology remote-sensing
system for the protection of cultural and natural resources
from looting and vandalism is a major Preservation Science
and Technology Unit project, and Dr. Schneider works closely
with government laboratories and agencies, the academic community,
Native American groups, and the private sector on behalf
of HIPROTECT and other advanced-technology applications to
archaeology and historic preservation.
