Areas of interest: Paleoimaging, Bioarchaeology, Dental Anthropology, Paleopathology, & Social History.
My research includes the skeletal & oral health of a group of 19th-century migrant settlers to South Australia. Historical records associated with the economy, & social issues were also used for context.
I am especially interested in developmental dental defects that represent the occurrence of health insults from infancy to early adulthood.
