My research focuses on the Early-Mid Holocene hunter-fisher-gatherer communities in the Eurasian forest zone. In particular, I am interested in enhancing our understanding of how transformations in the mortuary realm are connected with environmental and socio-cultural changes that occurred in the hunter-fisher-gatherer world. As a part of the Ethnographisch-Archaeologische Zeitschrift Team, I oversee and coordinate the publication's editorial activities, and communicate with the authors, the reviewers, and the editorial board.
