Jim Wiederhold earned his MA from Texas A&M University in 2004. His thesis explored the functions of Clovis end scrapers from the Gault Site, Texas through high-power microscopic use-wear analysis. Jim manages the Center’s microscope laboratory, where he has conducted edge-modification studies of artifacts from Debra L. Friedkin, Gault, Ryan-Harley, Page-Ladson, and other sites. He couples his analysis of use-wear with experimental studies including hide working and butchering animal carcasses.
