Ian Lindsay

Ian Lindsay is an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at Purdue University. He is a co-director of Project ArAGATS, a long-running Armenian-American collaboration studying the origins and contours of political complexity in the highlands of the South Caucasus during the Bronze and Iron Age periods, including a recent settlement survey of Armenia’s upper Kasakh River Valley. Lindsay’s methodological interests extend to the use of remote sensing and GIS techniques and how these new digital data collections methods are impacting international archaeological practice. He is also a co-director (with Lori Khatchadourian and Adam T. Smith) of Caucasus Heritage Watch, and past president of the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus (ARISC).
