Biography

I am a Paleolithic archaeologist whose research focuses on the origins of art, symbol use, and language, the evolution of modern human cognition and behavior, Neandertal lifeways, the archaeology of children and the history of archaeological theory.

These interests have led to four interrelated research paths.
