Current Research
My PhD research is an examination of subsistence and diet of the different populations from the Lake Baikal region (Siberia, Russia) during the Holocene period. It is based on the zooarchaeological analysis of faunal remains from archaeological sites with a central focus on the animal bones from Sagan-Zaba II, a multilayered habitation site located on the west coast of the central part of Lake Baikal. My research involves faunal identification, quantification, and determination of skeletal element frequencies to examine the diachronic patterns of animal bone preservation, hunting, fishing, domestication, butchering, transport, and processing during the Holocene period.
