Biography
As a zooarchaeologist I am interested in the human-animal-environmental nexus, especially in the context of foodways and environmental sustainability. I apply behavioral ecology to human-animal relationships in order to address changes in subsistence, economics and social organization. I have concurrent research projects in Australia and Cyprus. My research in Australia focuses on two issues: 1) The dingo-human relationship in Holocene Australia and 2) Human responses to environmental change in Colonial Australia, with specific focus on the introduction of European domesticates. Previous research in Australian prehistory includes climate change and megafaunal extinctions at Pleistocene Cuddie Springs and Aboriginal settlement and subsistence in the Pilbara, Western Australia. I have conducted research in Historical Archaeology on thesocio-economic implications of diet in 19th C. Colonial Sydney, and currently research the socio-environmental impacts of sheep. I direct the Australian Centre for Domesticate and Commensal research (ACDCr), am an Associate Director of the Paphos Theatre Project with the University of Sydney, and a member of the advisory board of the Centre for Human Animal Environment (HumAnE) at the University of Exeter, UK.
