Rome Italy

I am a PhD candidate in Classical Archaeology and my research focuses on Roman slavery and the experiences of enslaved people particularly in a domestic context. I primarily work in Pompeii and have been a part of the Pompeii Artifact Life History Project (PALHIP) since 2022. My research is interdisciplinary, utilizing literary evidence, visual evidence, and material culture. I am dedicated to using legacy data and engaging with archival material in order to share information on objects that have been excavated but never published.

My research interests are focused broadly upon the age and sex-related changes in bone quantity and quality, and I am particularly interested in the application of biocultural and evolutionary approaches to the study of bone fragility. My work has examined age-related changes in cortical bone microstructure, trabecular architecture, and mineral density in several British archaeological populations, and I am currently examining the long-term effect of parity and lactation on the human and non-human primate maternal skeleton.
