About

I am the professor of Palaeolithic Archaeology at the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany. In addition I am head of the Department of Palaeolithic Studies at the Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum.
My major research interest is the evolution of hominin behaviour and I have thus conducted research and excavations in all phases of the Palaeolithic. I am  a "specialized generalist" in Palaeolithic Archaeology with particular expertise in Archaeozoology, Taphonomy and Neanderthal subsistence strategies.
