I received my B.A. in Anthropology from Louisiana State University in 1996
and my M.A. in Cultural Anthropology from Louisiana State University in 1998.
I am a graduate student in cultural anthropology. My dissertation research pertains
to the Rastafari movement in Martinique and Guadeloupe, French Antilles. In
particular, I focus on the work of Rastafari artisans and the role of Rastafari
arts as vivid expressions of Rastafari identity and as means for social agents
to represent themselves culturally and recover history.

Kay's doctoral research focuses on variation in the treatment of human remains in the Chaco Canyon. Related interests include forensic anthropology and taphonomy. Kay is currently employed by the University of Maine, where she assists Dr. Marcella Sorg in the recovery and analysis of human skeletal remains for the Chief Medical Examiner's Offices in Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.
I am currently researching the role of mound architecture at the Raffman site,
a Coles Creek (Late Woodland) site in northeast Louisiana. The focus of my graduate
studies has been on North American archaeology, with an emphasis on the southeastern
United States. My research interests include the development of hierarchical
societies, social complexity among hunter-gatherers, and prehistoric and historic
cultural contacts.
