About
I am a PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, affiliated with the University of Leiden. My work is concerned with understanding behaviors and adaptations through the use of plant microfossils (starches and phytoliths).
My MSc research used phytoliths to interpret Late Natufian subsistence and symbolic behaviors in Raqefet Cave, Mount Carmel. Currently, I am researching methods to analyse intragroup dietary variation in hunter-gatherer populations using plant microfossils preserved within dental calculus.
