She has conducted fieldwork in the U.S., Canada, Siberia, and Cyprus with publications on human decomposition and taphonomy, Bronze Age Siberian bioarchaeology, analysis of burned human remains and pedagogical methods. Her current research involves tracking the level of microbial activity in soils surrounding decomposing pigs over time. The goal is to demonstrate that diversity and population levels of bacteria may provide clues to time since death for a time period that has traditionally been difficult for forensic scientists to ascertain. Another research focus is to provide osteobiographical information from individuals recovered from the Episkopi-Bamboula site on the south coast of Cyprus and report any pathological conditions and important anomalies that can be found in the bones and teeth.
