My research is centered around the Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük,
Turkey where I have engaged in summer fieldwork since 2001. I am exploring
burial practices, symbolism and sacred spaces with regard to children
in prehistoric societies. My dissertation research includes a cross-
cultural analysis of Çatalhöyük and its contemporaries
in the Anatolian, Mediterranean and Near Eastern region. Other interests
include religious symbolism and ritual performance in preliterate
cultures, the role of children in ancient societies and aspects of
archaeological illustration and reconstruction.
