Doctor in archaeology, I specialised in the study of Mesolithic and Neolithic bone industries from Eastern Europe. By combining methods of technological analysis and experimental archaeology, my research focus on the last hunters-gatherers communities from Central Russia.

I am a lecturer in the School of Geography, Archaeology and Environmental at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

My MA thesis was devoted to techno-typological analysis of Lower Palaeolithic tools.

Archaeologist using experimental archaeology (production and use of antler combs) to be able to interpret traces on early medieval combs through use wear analysis.

I am a biological anthropologist, and have been using experimental archaeology in research and teaching since my graduate school days. I first built a cremation pyre and cremated a pig in 1990, and have refined that experiment several times.

I work in the field of experimental archaeology for more than 15 years. Mainly, I specialize in the analysis of function (using use-wear method) of the prehistoric stone and bone/ antler tools.
