About
As an anthropological archaeologist, I study the dynamics between subsistence strategy, mobility and social organization in Europe’s prehistoric agricultural communities. I am interested in how early farming tribal societies used and defined their landscape from both an economic and cultural perspective, and in turn, how this reflects social organization and development through time. Methodologically, I have expertise in testing models and hypotheses about prehistoric human behavior using both bioarchaeological and biogeochemical approaches to excavated archaeological material. Interdisciplinary and international collaboration is an essential part of my past, current and future research plan, and over the years I have established important working relationships with anthropologists from the US and Europe as well as archaeological chemists and isotope geochemists in laboratories in Florida, Arizona and Ohio. Furthermore, my research agenda includes a strong commitment to teaching. I actively incorporate my passion for discovery, creativity and the scientific process into classroom, field and mentorship settings.
