| Research Interests |
Professor Walker was working on a number of bioarchaeological projects involving collections of human skeletal remains from various parts of the world, including Africa, central Asia, and Europe. He was the co-director of an archaeological project in Iceland that included the excavation of a settlement period cemetery and church. Walker was a principle investigator on a large NSF funded collaborative project entitled “A History of Health in Europe from the Late Paleolithic Era to the Present.” This project involved researchers from many different European countries. Its goal was to measure and analyze the evolution of skeletal health by combining data from human remains with information gathered from sources in archaeology, climate history, geography, and history.
