Personal profile
Research Interests
landscape-based geoarchaeological studies, as well as understanding the cultural materials that are preserved within these types of environments. As a geoarchaeologist, my interest lies in understanding how landscapes have formed and evolved through time, and how they have been shaped and modified by both cultural and natural processes. This multidisciplinary research involves aspects of archaeology, geology, geography, geomorphology and other earth sciences, and when applied it provides vital contextual information that improves our ability to correctly interpret archaeological sites and residues.
