Prehistoric Archaeology
My main field of expertise is the study of prehistoric movement, mobility and exchange from the empirical analysis of igneous rocks with geochemical techniques (EDXA, SEM, XRF (hand-held and lab-based), LA-ICP-MS). The geochemical data is combined with exchange and evolutionary ecology theory to understand prehistoric social interaction. My research impact has been in the application of scientific techniques to characterise ancient stone tools from Asia and the Pacific, which provide tangible evidence for prehistoric social and economic movements, often over thousands of kilometres of marine terrain.
