I am an anthropological archaeologist focused on why, where and when human social inequalities emerged. My research investigates community hierarchy formation, and combines settlement pattern analysis, archaeological GIS, and funerary studies to understand variation in the social makeup of middle-range societies in prehistoric Europe. My work has centred mostly on Neolithic and Bronze Age groups, with a geographical focus in Hungary and Southeastern Europe.
