Faunal and Material Culture Research in Archaeology

吉福德-冈萨雷斯博士将继续她对非洲考古动物群材料的研究。多年来，吉福德-冈萨雷斯博士一直在分析在东非遗址发现的食物残骸。这使她能够追踪随时间变化的生存状况，确定社会如何适应环境的变化，并展示牧业是如何融入狩猎和采集社会的。该项目还将培训学生和其他考古学家，并将她的工作扩展到物质文化分析的其他领域。

Dr. Gifford-Gonzalez will continue her research on African archaeological faunal materials. For a number of years Dr. Gifford-Gonzalez has analyzed food remains recovered in East African sites. This allows her to trace changing subsistence through time, to determine how societies adapted to changes in environment, and to demonstrate how pastoralism was integrated into hunting and gathering societies. The project will also train students and other archaeologists and expand her work into other areas of material culture analysis.
