Iron and Bronze Age Anatolia; GIS; Stable Isotope Analysis; Zooarchaeology; Remote Sensing<\/p>\n
I am interested in combining data-driven technologies like stable isotope analysis and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to investigate the movement of people and objects across the landscape.<\/p>\n
I was recently granted a Student Research Award through Boston University\u2019s UROP program. Under the guidance of Professors John Marston and Ethan Baxter, I am conducting stable isotope analysis on a series of sheep and goat molars through Boston University\u2019s Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TiMS) lab. The molars come from the central Anatolian site of Gordion, occupied from the Bronze age to Medieval period. Our project aims to reconstruct herding strategies of mobile populations in an effort to see whether herders changed their strategies in response to climatic changes or major political transitions.<\/p>\n
