I graduated with my B.A. in Anthropology at Rutgers University in Spring 2022 where I completed my senior thesis, Where’s the fire? Using FTIR to define occupation of Abrigo de la Boja. This research focused on using the mineralogical composition of profile sediments to determine the occupation intensity by Neanderthals and Anatomically Modern Humans through anthropogenic modifications to the site as well as climactic conditions at Abrigo de La Boja, and Middle-Upper Paleolithic site in Murcia, Spain. As a PhD student, I plan on studying phytoliths from the site Tell es-Safi in Israel, as well as sites in the surrounding area. The aim of this research is to determine the ability of phytoliths to record human adaptation to climate change.
