I am interested in early human subsistence strategies, mobility/territoriality, and taphonomic processes affecting the deposition, recovery, and understanding of faunal remains. My research uses zooarchaeological methods and experimental archaeology to untangle site formation processes and human behavior, with an emphasis on the late Pleistocene in Southern Africa and Europe. My Master’s thesis examined proxies for nutritional stress in Later Stone Age populations along the South African coastline during interstadial/glacial transitions. I administer the blog Post Cards from an Archaeologist, which describes life and research in the field.
