Angela R. Lieverse is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Saskatchewan, where she has served since 2007. She previously held the position of Department Head. Her research focuses on bioarchaeology, paleopathology, and hunter-gatherer adaptations in Siberia and East Asia. Dr. Lieverse’s work emphasizes skeletal analysis, dietary studies, and disease patterns in prehistoric populations, with extensive fieldwork in Lake Baikal regions and the Cis-Baikal area.
Education: PhD from Cornell University, MA and BA (with distinction) from the University of Alberta, and a SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Memorial University.
Her research interests include the bioarchaeology of stress, trauma analysis, and the application of modern medical methodologies to ancient remains. Notable projects involve reconstructing subsistence strategies, tracking infectious diseases like plague in prehistoric populations, and analyzing skeletal evidence of labor and activity patterns among foragers. Her work bridges archaeology, anthropology, and paleopathology to understand human adaptation and cultural change.
Recent studies highlight innovative approaches to analyzing fragmented human remains and exploring the intersection of climate change and prehistoric health. Her publications often focus on Siberian populations, with a particular emphasis on the Cis-Baikal region’s Middle Holocene foragers.
