Staff profile

• My research interests lie in zooarchaeology and historical archaeology, with a geographical focus on the Middle East and Central Asia. I am particularly interested in past human–animal relationships, animal health and disease, and dietary practices, drawing on paleopathological approaches and trace element analysis to explore these aspects of past societies.
