Professor of Archaeology
Director of Micromorphology Laboratory, Boston University
My current research includes the application of micromorphological techniques to Pleistocene caves in France, Israel, Germany, and South Africa, and the use of micromorphology in interpreting soils, sediments, and anthropogenic deposits, particularly those from Neanderthal hearths in France and Israel. I have attempted to give my spin on geoarchaeology with colleague Richard I. Macphail in our book, Practical and Theoretical Geoarchaeology, published in 2006 by Wiley-Blackwell.
