Her research focus is archaeological textiles, a generic term for a wide range of fibre-based artefacts that occur in the archaeological record. Apart from Tianluoshan, her ongoing research involves the re-excavation of Hoa Loc in northern Vietnam producing new evidence for proto-globalization during the Neolithic. She is also currently investigating much earlier archaeological evidence for fibre technology at Middle Stone Age sites (c. 75,000 BP) in South Africa produced by early anatomically modern humans and very recently completed a re-investigation of the earliest fibre production site called Anbangbang 1 in Arnhem Land, which is assigned to the Holocene.
