Areas of Interest<\/h3>\n

Paleoethnobotany\/archaeobotany; Microbotanical analyses; Phytoliths; Subsistence practices and plant utilization of hunter-gatherer groups<\/p>\n

Research Interests & Fieldwork<\/h3>\n

The most exciting part of my position is playing host to the varied and cutting edge research projects taking place in the Environmental Archaeology Lab. Working under Prof Marston ensures the lab is kept busy, happy, and working hands-on with archaeological material from a range of contexts. I routinely assist in the research process and have the pleasure of coordinating our talented team of undergraduate volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering in the EA Lab,\u00a0please\u00a0send me an email!<\/p>\n

My personal research interests lie primarily in\u00a0phytolith analysis, and particularly, phytoliths’\u00a0potential to reconstruct ancient diet, technology,\u00a0and paleoenvironment. I am currently building a laboratory phytolith reference collection focused on\u00a0the Near East\u2019s Bronze and Iron Ages, although this continues to expand to address other\u00a0locales and time periods to suit the various researcher projects in the lab. I am currently analyzing\u00a0two phytolith assemblages from Israel, exploring\u00a0aspects of the plant record related to preservation and taphonomy and plant types and quantities.<\/p>\n
