Areas of Interest
Environmental Archaeology; Paleoethnobotany (macrobotanicals); Stable Isotope Analysis; Environmental Reconstruction; Hellenistic Levant; Ancient Near East
Research Interests & Fieldwork
My research interests involve understanding human-environmental interactions through paleoethnobotany and other methods of environmental analysis. This includes reconstructing agricultural economies with macrobotanicals, paleoclimatology, stable isotope analysis, and other statistical methods of analysis. Specifically, my research focuses on areas in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic period, understanding changes in human environmental relationships and impacts during periods of significant social and cultural change.
