About Duane Quates
I work as the state cultural resources specialist and archaeologist conducting training and Section 106 compliance for the NRCS in the State of Michigan. I previously worked as the U.S. Army as the federal archaeologist for the Fort Drum Cultural Resources Program. I am a cofounder, a former chairperson, and secretary of the Military Archaeology Resources Stewardship (MARS) interest group with the Society for American Archaeology. This group is dedicated to creating a forum for archaeologists that work on military lands and to generate a dialogue between the military and academic archaeologists in order to achieve the goal of bettering historic preservation and cultural property protection during military operations at home and abroad. You can read more about MARS at My personal research focuses on the use of landscape within frontiers and borderlands. I am interested in the intersection between the use of landscape, the practices of smuggling and human trafficking, and the ideals of manhood and patriarchy in the antebellum South.
