Research Interests & Fieldwork<\/h3>\n

I study the changing socio-economic relationships between humans and animals in the Aegean, particularly during the end of the Neolithic period. I ask how choices related to herd management might structure the spatial and temporal dimensions of human social life. I aim to investigate this question using traditional zooarchaeological techniques as well as the analysis of stable isotopes such as strontium and oxygen. Currently, I am working on a pilot study in collaboration with Julia Giblin<\/a> (Quinnipiac University), where I will be analyzing strontium signatures from ovicaprid molars from Alepotrypa Cave in Diros, Greece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7952,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7952"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4595,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/3257\/revisions\/4595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/ealab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
