About
I am a bioarchaeologist at The Ohio State University. I am primarily interested in reconstructing past lifeways using stable isotopes, biogeochemical signatures incorporated into human skeletal material.
My doctoral research involved an examination of mobility, migration, trade networks, and diet during the Bronze Age in the United Arab Emirates. Utilizing stable strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotopes from human and faunal dental enamel, I want to elucidate changes in the movements of people over time with the development of a Bronze Age world-system and increased interregional communication between southeastern Arabia and major centers in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. I am also concerned with changing mortuary practices in the Oman Peninsula.
