Bio

I'm an archaeology Ph.D. student working with Dr. McClure in the Mediterranean Prehistory and Paleoecology Laboratory. I use foodways as a proxy for inequality on different spatial and temporal scales. I want to better understand the development of complex societies from the Neolithic through the Bronze Age, especially as it relates to technological developments. I have worked on excavations in Hungary and Serbia and I am also interested in 3D photogrammetry applications in archaeology.
