My doctoral project focuses on human mobility in the Roman Imperial period, and the theoretical tools which have been employed to understand it.  Developing upon research conducted for my MPhil thesis, I use isotopic data drawn from biomolecular analyses of human remains to identify geographical non-locality in burial populations. 

By analysing these data using statistical methods, I am able to investigate how individuals moved between cities across the Roman Empire, and why. 

I also use these findings to simulate and reproduce ancient migratory journeys through computational modelling.
