I am a Senior Lecturer in the Archaeology Department at the University of the Witwatersrand. My current research focusses on subsistence behaviour and palaeoenvironmental change during the Late Pleistocene, specifically in the southern Cape of South Africa, taphonomy and the effects of trampling in archaeological sites. I lead a NFR-funded project investigating occupational intensity and environmental change in the Late Pleistocene in the southern and eastern Cape. I am the PI for the Strathalan Cave Excavation project, the Director of Faunal Research for Klasies River, and the co-Director of the Grassridge Archaeological and Palaeoenvironmental Project (GAPP). I also have interests in the bioarchaeology of Khoe-San and Cape Slave descendants.
