Please help us welcome Don Merritt to the Alpine team as a Senior Project Archaeologist.
Don has experience in both the private and public sectors, resulting in a strong background in archaeological compliance, consultation with project partners and stakeholders, and project management. He has worked in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon. Prior to coming to Alpine, Don worked for the Bureau of Reclamation and thoroughly enjoyed the compliance aspect. Don received both his B.A. and M.A. in Anthropology/Historical Archaeology from the University of Montana. His thesis is on the contact period site of Fort Owen in Montana where he gained an appreciation of the complexities of the interactions of Native tribes in the 19th Century.
Welcome to the team, Don!
