Tracy Prowse
Associate Professor, Anthropology

Overview

My research explores diet, health, and mobility in past populations, using palaeopathological and isotopic analyses of human bones and teeth. My approach is interdisciplinary, combining skeletal, isotopic, and archaeological evidence embedded within the historical and archaeological context of the people I study.
