Cyprus

Bio

My research aligns with biocultural approaches and seeks to provide insights into the daily life, activity patterns, demography, health, and diet of past populations using macroscopic osteological methods, such as entheseal changes, cross-sectional geometric properties, three-dimensional geometric morphometrics and nonmetric traits. From a geographic perspective, my projects span North Africa, Greece, and the United Kingdom, while, temporally, they cover a broad period from prehistory to medieval times. In addition, I am committed to refining the available osteological methodology, which has resulted in a number of publications evaluating broadly used methods for assessing age at death and activity patterns, and suggesting advanced statistical models for osteoarchaeological topics.
