Research Area: Canada/Northwest Coast | Europe | Latin America/Caribbean | Lifeways, deathways, ritual | Well-being, health, technology Research Stream: Anthropological Archaeology | Biological Anthropology My research interests are varied, ranging from palaeodemography and palaeopathology (particularly infectious disease and stress indicators) to funerary archaeology and archaeothanatology. I also do a lot of work with First Nations communities, assisting with the repatriation of ancestors and creating osteobiographies prior to reburial.
