Department of Archaeology

 

Biography

I received a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Anthropology with a minor in Psychology from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs in 2016. Afterward I proceeded to study Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology (MSc) at the University of Oxford and graduated in 2018. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Archaeology here at the University of Cambridge with a focus on the Jomon and computational methods. 

Research

My current research is examining spatiotemporal patterns in settlements within the Jomon Period of prehisoric Japan to with the goal of better understanding the Kanto Middle Jomon Phenomenon. My research aims to incorporate uncertainty into analyses of settlement patterns, inequality, and continuity/discontinuity within the archaeological record.

I also have side interests in Neanderthals and the evolution of human cognitive capacities.
