James K. Feathers is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Washington in the Department of Anthropology. He is primarily involved in the application of luminescence dating to address chronological problems in archaeology.

Methodologically, his laboratory specializes in single-grain dating of quartz and feldspar, with a particular focus on identifying post-depositional mixing and partial bleaching. Additionally, the laboratory provides a dating service for clients, offering dates for sediments, ceramics, lithics, and fire-modified rocks.
