Katherine Lindsey

I am a motivated biological anthropologist with a research and analysis background in osteoloarchaeology and forensic anthropology. I have experience conducting research on the ethical treatment of human remains within burials, excavation, and scientific analysis. Furthermore, I recently completed an MSc thesis on the effectiveness of lesser-used metric methods of sex estimation upon the degradation of the most commonly used morphological traits. I intend to further my current skills by pursuing more advanced research and field opportunities.
