Stacey Lynn Camp, Co-Principal Investigator

The Mount Lowe Archaeology Project is the subject of Stacey's dissertation project. Stacey became interested in Mount Lowe while working for the Mount Wilson Vista Council of the Girl Scouts in Arcadia, California. She and her husband became hiking addicts and spent much time backpacking in Angeles National Forest up until Stacey began her current Ph.D. program in Stanford University's Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology program. She is currently involved in two other projects, the Tennessee Hollow Watershed Archaeological Project and the Market Street Chinatown Project, both directed by her advisor and the Mount Lowe Archaeology Project's Co-Principal Investigator, Dr. Barbara Voss.

Joanne Sidlovsky Grant is a professional archaeologist originally from Connecticut, currently residing in San Francisco. She earned her B.A. in Humanities (Providence College, 1996) and her M.A. in Classical Archaeology (Florida State University, 2002). Joanne spent three summers excavating the Classical site of Idalion on the island of Cyprus and spent two years as a Museum Technician at the Southeast Archeological Center in Tallahassee, FL. Since moving to the Bay Area three years ago, Joanne has done lab and field work at various sites, including the Presidio of San Francisco, San Francisco's Mission District, and Sequoia National Forest. When she's not trying to save the world in an archaeological manner, she enjoys hiking, exploring Bay Area restaurants, skiing/ attempting to snowboard, spending time with her husband, Josh, and her cat, Tooky (separately and together), and is currently making some valiant attempts to grow plants in her apartment. She is currently employed with URS in Oakland, CA as an archaeologist.
