I am an archaeologist who is broadly interested in human-environment interactions from the past to the present across the globe. I focus on North American prehistory, specialize in the zooarchaeology of the U.S. Southwest, and use principles of data science in my research.
I have wide-ranging interests in human behavioral ecology, stable isotope ecology, 3D geometric morphometrics, radiocarbon chronology building, and conservation biology.
I am an archaeologist who is broadly interested in human-environment interactions from the past to the present. More specifically, I focus on the late pre-Hispanic/Early Historic zooarchaeology of the U.S. Southwest.
