About

My PhD research involves the use of behavioural and ecological models to investigate the potential for different settlement patterns in the Middle Palaeolithic, primarily of northern and central Europe. In particular my research is concentrating on the factors relating to use of a central place and reuse of sites. I am taking a comparative approach using examples from non-human primates, social carnivores and recent human hunter-gatherer groups.

Undergraduate degree from Oxford (2002), followed by MA degree at UCL (2006). My research background includes nesting patterns in Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii at Budongo, Uganda, and formation processes in the Early Pleistocene of East Africa.
