I am Archaeologist with research interest on faunal analysis from archaeological sites and Stone Age archaeology. Of late I have been working on issues of incorporation Indigenous Knowledge into archaeological research methods and theories. My rationale is that the incorporation of IK into archaeological methods and theory can assist us to better understand southern African archaeology.
