Canadian Prairies Circumpolar North Collaborative archaeology Human-animal studies Zooarchaeology

Over the last 15 years I have led and participated in several multidisciplinary international projects focusing on human-animal relationships in the North. These projects include studies of Nenets reindeer domestication practices on the Iamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic, the life histories of ancient dogs in the Circumpolar North, interactions between Indigenous people and Baikal seals, and the diets and subsistence practices of boreal forest foragers and pastoralists in Eastern Siberia. All of these projects involve integration of zooarchaeology and collaborative work with Indigenous communities.
