I am primarily interested in the dietary ecology of hominins in Africa and Eurasia, with a strong reliance on stable isotope approaches to address questions about dietary ecology and the closely related themes of climate and vegetation patterning. In more recent archaeology the topics of most interest are life histories and seasonal mobility in prehistoric humans, and in wild and domestic animals, from their multiple isotope systems in skeletal and organic tissues. I have worked on sites in South America, the Middle East, and Europe but my primary focus is in Africa.
