In 2015 Greenfield was designated a "Distinguished Professor" by the University of Manitoba.
He characterizes himself in this way: "I am an anthropological archaeologist specializing in the evolution of Old World societies, from the beginning of early farming to the development of states and empires. "Regionally, my research centers on a transect of countries extending from Europe (Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Hungary, Poland and Romania), through the Near East (Israel, Jordan and Turkey), down to South Africa." He is well known in the zooarchaeological community.
