i am an archaeological scientist specializing in using chemical (stable isotope) analyses to explore past cultural and biological phenomena. My research addresses questions about how humans have interacted with their environments in the past (particularity animal populations). I am currently working on a series of projects focusing on aquatic and terrestrial environments across Europe and North America. I am currently a Banting Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Trent Environmental Archaeology Laboratory at Trent University in Peterborough Ontario, Canada.
