This relates directly to my continuing interest in:

The relevance of information from the human skeleton to heritage matters, and the establishment of sustained working relationships with aboriginal peoples;

Skeletal biology of past peoples, focusing on Southern African KhoeSan and North American Lower Great Lakes past populations;

Methods for deriving information about past lives from human bone and tooth tissues, through microscopy and stable isotope analyses.
