Research Interests & Fieldwork<\/h3>\n

I worked in collaboration with the Alutiiq museum on faunal remains from the 15,000 year old Qik’rtangcuk site (KOD-605) from Kodiak Island. I re-screened bulk samples, identified broad taxonomic groups (mammal, bird, and fish), and found a surprisingly large number of Northern Fulmar remains (identified using the comparative collections at Harvard) and a large number of cod and flatfish.\u00a0The goal of this research was to identify the seasons of site occupation and understand the paleoenvironment, and learn more about past Alutiiq culture.<\/p>\n
