About
My principle research interests are in human osteology and later European prehistory, with a focus on the Bronze Age. In particular I am interested in the relationship between osteological evidence for health, disease, work and social identity as expressed through funerary treatment. My PhD research explored the social categorisation of ageing in the Early Bronze Age through combined osteological and archaeological cemetery analysis.
A second area of interest is the use of taphonomy to reconstruct and interpret mortuary ritual and behaviour around corpses. I have focussed particularly upon cremation, but also work with the concept of chaîne opératoire as a means to understand the temporality of practices involving the dead body.
Recently I have worked on historical material from the islands of Cape Verde and Mauritius, investigating the skeletal implications of social relations around slavery and indenture.
