Archaeology
I am interested in assessing health over time in pre- and protohistoric Chumash populations through the analysis of skeletal remains. I am particularly interested in treponemal diseases, of which the origin, spread and movements are still unclear. My background is in forensic anthropology, neonatal osteology, bioarchaeology, and Channel Islands archaeology.
