Research
My major research focus is ‘Molecular Environmental Archaeology’ – the application of biomolecular techniques to a broad range of environmental issues and human-environment interactions in the past and in the present. My research explores how humans have shaped their physical world, from broad-scale impacts on ancient ecosystems to the micro-environment of the human body.
My research methods include ancient genomic analysis (ancient DNA), ancient proteomics, and collagen peptide mass fingerprinting (ZooMS).
