My research is centred around comparative approaches and social archaeology with a focus on the intersection between archaeology and socio-cultural anthropology. Working in Northeastern India as well as Central Europe, I am interested in the dynamics involved in the socio-political organisation of societies, and forms of non-hierarchical social organisation. I am focusing on the research of Neolithic communities, as well as ethnoarchaeological approaches with an emphasis on human-environmental dynamics and settlement structures and organisation. Deriving from my PhD studies, I am also engaged in the research of the social implications and forms of megalithic monuments, both in recent and in prehistoric contexts.
