Andrew Bradbury has conducted archaeological fieldwork since 1981. He has worked primarily in Tennessee and Kentucky, but also has experience in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. He has supervised and authored reports for over a hundred archaeological projects ranging from archaeological reconnaissance to large phase III data recovery. His main areas of interest are prehistoric hunter/gatherers and lithic technology. He regularly presents papers at regional and national meetings and has authored or co-authored a number of papers in peer reviewed professional journals. He is also a skilled flintknapper and has conducted flintknapping workshops for the general public, grade school students, and college students in addition to conducting a number of lithic reduction experiments.

Mr. Bradbury holds a masters degree in Anthropology with an emphasis in archaeology. He also has training in quantitative methods including multivariate statistical methods and spatial analysis. He has experience with computer programming and has written a number of applications for archaeological analysis.

Mr. Bradbury has been employed with Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc. since 1994. Since that time he has functioned as field supervisor and principal investigator. In addition, he conducts the analysis of lithic materials recovered from phase II and III projects.

When not involved with archaeological investigations or knapping experiments, Andrew can often be found wading the local creeks in search of Smallmouth Bass or on local lakes chasing Striped Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass. He is an avid fisherman and makes most of his own lures (wooden plugs and lead jigs) and builds his own fishing rods. Several years ago, he was introduced to surf fishing in New England and makes a yearly fall pilgrimage to Massachusetts or Rhode Island in search of Striped Bass and Bluefish.
