Amanda Dobrov

Amanda Dobrov is a master's student in Public Archaeology. Her interest in archaeology started in High School when she got the chance to participate in Crow Canyon Archaeological Center's High School Field School. After that experience, she knew she had found her niche. 

In partnership with the National Park Service, Dobrov's research involves working on museum collections of Mojave Desert ceramics curated at Joshua Tree National Park. It is centered around ceramic analysis and the utilization of petrography to investigate ceramic typologies.

Dobrov's career goals are to work as an archaeologist on public lands to help preserve, protect, and disseminate archaeological knowledge to the public. She has experience working for the National Park Service and is interested in working for any federal or state agency.
