Research

Archaeology and physical anthropology, prehistoric subsistence, archaeological science, bio-archaeology, paleo-anthropology, Pacific Northwest, Japan, S.E. and E. Asia.

Projects:

Stable Isotope Studies of Paleodiet in Japan. Funded for 2001/2 by the Ministry of Education’s Center of Excellence, Japan. This is part of an ongoing project, in collaboration with Dr. Hiroko Koike of Kyushu University, that focuses on the reconstruction of paleodiets, particularly in the Jomon Period of Japan’s prehistory.
