Dr. Anthony P. Graesch is currently Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Connecticut College. He received his Ph.D. from UCLA in 2006 and was one of the founding members of the CELF team (2001-2010). At CELF, he conducted primary ethnoarchaeological and ethnographic fieldwork with special focus on the study of contemporary American material culture, consumerism, and uses of home spaces.

Dr. Graesch is co-director of ongoing archaeological investigations in the Upper Fraser Valley of southwestern British Columbia, where he applies his four-fields training to the study of Stó:l?-Coast Salish heritage, households, political economy, and house-associated formation processes. His household archaeological research in the Pacific Northwest appears in American Antiquity and the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology as well as several edited volumes. Graesch also directs ongoing research addressing modern material culture and urban garbology in New London, Connecticut.
