Bio: 

I am an archaeologist with broad interests in long-term dynamics of indigenous populations and ancient ecosystems. My dissertation research examines trans-Holocene maritime adaptations among hunter-gatherer-fishers on Santa Catalina Island, and the project is conducted in collaboration with descendent community members. I primarily use zooarchaeology methods to examine the archaeological record. In turn, these data provide important insights to human cultures regarding subsistence, paleo environment, hunting practices, fishing strategies, human-animal relations, and socio-political complexity.
