Biography
Dr. McKenzie is a bioarchaeologist whose general research interests are concerned with the processes of culture change among prehistoric hunter-gatherers, skeletal evidence for past lifeways, hunter-gatherer social complexity and mortuary practices, and the archaeology of Siberia and Inner/Northeastern Asia. He is currently exploring various aspects of these topics in the context of three world areas: the Lake Baikal region of Siberia, Russia; the coastal Primorye region of the Russian Far East; and Hokkaido, Japan. He teaches a range of courses in both biological anthropology and archaeology, and he has run several archaeological field schools that take undergraduate students to Russia and Japan.
