My interests primarily lie in understanding the role faunal resources played in prehistoric foraging societies by using theory and models developed in human behavioral ecology. One of my current research goals is to bridge existing optimal foraging models based on energy with costly signaling theory in an effort to recognize other payoffs that might influence foraging decisions among small-scale hunter-gatherers.
