Dr. Holland-Lulewicz is the director for the Socio-ecological Histories of Estuarine Landscapes (SHEL) Lab. Her primary research program focuses on human-environment dynamics in the Southeastern and Midwestern US by way of paleoenvironmental reconstructions via zooarchaeological analyses of vertebrate and invertebrates, stable isotopes analyses of marine shell, and chronological modelling of anthropogenic exploitations of estuarine and riverine environments. Current projects include investigating (1) the manifestation of global cooling and warming events on local landscapes, (2) Indigenous complex socio-ecological systems, (3) early European colonizer resource management strategies, and (4) Indigenous resource management practices and anthropogenic landscape modification as related to urbanization. This work includes both field and laboratory project across eastern North America, primarily in Florida, South Carolina, and the American Bottom region in the Midwest. Dr. Holland-Lulewicz has conducted and participated in field and collections-based projects across eastern North America, including Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and South Carolina with over two years of experience as a Research Zooarchaeologist for the Illinois State Archaeological Survey.
