Introduction

I am interested in human-marine interactions. I focus on mollusc and fish remains from coastal and island sites. My research will combine traditional zooarchaeology, ancient DNA, and isotopes to explore the resilience and sustainability of primarily hunter-fisher-gatherer societies in ancient coastal and island environments. Providing a deeper and more holistic perspective for understanding human-nature interactions through the dynamic and long-term humanized landscape views of historical ecology. I hope that my research inform sustainable development issues that humans are facing at present.
