| Research Interests |
Professor Gamble’s research is focused on emergent sociopolitical complexity among hunter-gatherer societies in southern California, especially the Chumash Indians. Her research interests encompass issues relating to this concentration and other topics:
- Economic Structure—including shell beads as monetary and social currency, political economy, wealth finance, prestige goods, network power, transportation, and feasting.
- Emergent Socio-Political Complexity—with an emphasis on hunter-gather societies, religious power, gender, rank, and mortuary symbolism.
- Household and Settlement Archaeology—as it relates to production, consumption, power, and gender roles.
- Culture Contact—particularly continuity and change, gender, subsistence strategies, and agency.
- Conflict and Social Integration—including warfare, methods of social control, and ecology.
- Cultural Landscapes—their sacred, symbolic, economic, and mythological meanings in the past and present.
- Working with Native American Communities—indigenous knowledge, reciprocal relationships, ethical dilemmas, and curation.
