Research Interest

My work focuses on the archeology of the native populations of Quebec and the North-East, mainly through the analysis of their subsistence economies and their ceramic and bone technologies through zooarchaeology, tracing and technological analysis. I am also interested in social archeology, the history of archeology, the protection of archaeological heritage and ethical issues in archeology.
