Forensic Anthropology Geoarchaeology Osteology Paleoenvironmental studies Plains Archaeology

Biological Anthropology – Major interests are in the area of human Osteology and skeletal biology including paleopathology and forensic anthropology. Forensic identification of human remains for law enforcement agencies is a specialty. Secondary interests include human evolutionary studies and vertebrate paleontology. Ongoing research includes projects in DNA studies and the paleopathology of some Northern Plains burials.

Archaeology – The major research interests are centered around North American precontact archaeology specializing in the Great Plains and American Southwest regions including geoarchaeology and paleoenvironmental studies. Ongoing research is centered on the archaeology of Wanuskewin Heritage Park near Saskatoon and the Big Muddy area of southern Saskatchewan.
