I am a biological anthropologist working primarily on subjects spanning paleoanthropology, bioarchaeology, and dental anthropology. I integrate a broad range of research methodologies to reconstruct the lifeways of Pleistocene humans--namely, Neandertals and early modern humans--and early Holocene foraging and food producing peoples. Through my research I examine the complex interplay between human biology, environment, and culture. This biocultural approach emphasizes the contextual analysis of human skeletal remains within their broader archaeological and environmental contexts.
