About
I am an archaeologist with a focus on identity construction, mobility, and interaction in the pre- and protohistoric Carpathian Basin, as well as processes of community cohesion involved in the emergence of more complex state societies in Southeastern Europe. However, much of my recent research has involved data from salvage excavations in the American Southeast, specifically in Middle Tennessee. Through macrobotanical analysis and analysis of dental remains from sites spanning the Early Archaic to the Middle Woodland, I have examined the subsistence strategies and health of the represented populations. Excavation methods and spatial analysis also factor into my research.
