Research Interests

I am a Palaeolithic archaeologist interested in technology and how it shapes behaviour. Specifically my research focuses on how and when the first technology emerged in our linegae, how and why it developed and varied over time and how it was made and used. To these ends, I focus on traditional archaeological techniques such as excavation, lithic analysis and GIS, as well as experimental archaeology and primate archaeology  I am currently invovled in research in Brazil, East and West Africa, the United Kingdom and Thailand, I am also interetsed in how new technological advancemnts can help us better interogate the archaeological record.
