Sujet 1 : L'homme de Néandertal et la taille de pierre avec Ariane Burke

Profile

Research expertise

Mes thèmes de recherche sont regroupés autour de l'étude du Paléolithique moyen et la transition vers le Paléolithique supérieur, avec un emphase sur les modes de subsistance et les modèles de dispersion des populations humaines.J'utilise les techniques numeriques pour etudier l'impact du changement climatique sur les rapports qu'entretiennent les humains avec le paléoenvironnement. L'archéozoologie m'a aussi amené à faire des recherches sur le paléoethologie et la taxonomie des équidés (implication dans des recherches de terrain en Mongolie) et sur le mode de croissance de l'os et des dents ainsi que des recherches ethnoarchéozoologiques. Je dirige actuellement le laboratoire d'ecomorphologie et de paleoanthropologie et le groupe de recherche sur les dispersions d'hominides (GRDH/HDRG).

Projets en cours

  • Lien entre le génotype et la comportement des mégafaunes disparues : étude de cas avec les chevaux béringiens du Pléistocène recent (collaboration avec C. Bataille, U. d'Ottawa)
