Project: Bone processing for methodological studies

​

Bio

Joy's past is shrouded in mystery but she joined the group from Istanbul, Turkey in 2017. She had a cauliflower ear and a friendly disposition. Her favourite piece of anthropological literature was "How Dogs Dream" by Eduardo Kohn, although she would admit that she never really understood it. Her primary research interests included the anthropology of sleeping and laziness, experimental archaeology focusing on the taphonomy of large mammal bones exposed to carnivore gnawing, and the behavioural ecology of squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits. Her main contribution to the lab were the initial processing of animals bones that are used in methodological studies such as the our graduate class projects as well as an overall booster to lab morale.
