Biography

My research interests include the Viking expansion into the North Atlantic region, the applications of soil micromorphology to floor deposits in archaeological settlements, human impacts on landscapes, and the application of geoarchaeological methods to identify seasonal occupation of archaeological sites. My research focuses on testing application of micromorphological analysis of undisturbed floor sediments to detect punctuated occupation and to aid future research on seasonally occupied settlements and enrich our understanding of how past societies used, manipulated, and sometimes damaged their environment.
