معرفی
Emily Coco is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Yale Paleoarchaeology Lab, collaborating with Dr. Jessica Thompson. Her work bridges anthropology and computational science, focusing on hunter-gatherer mobility in Paleolithic contexts and the interplay between human actions and environmental changes in Central Africa.
Education:
- PhD in Anthropology, New York University (supervised by Dr. Radu Iovita)
Research Interests: Emily’s research explores how ancient populations navigated dynamic landscapes through agent-based modeling. She investigates stone tool recycling behaviors in Kazakhstan and develops frameworks for data integration in paleoanthropology. Her work also addresses taphonomic biases and rock surface dating techniques to refine archaeological interpretations.
Articles: Her publications highlight trends in computational archaeology, mobility studies, and lithic assemblage analysis. Recent work emphasizes the role of time-averaging in shaping archaeological records and the spatial impacts of taphonomic processes on site preservation.
Labs/Teams: She is affiliated with the Yale Paleoarchaeology Lab, where she applies interdisciplinary methods to Paleolithic research. Her projects span fieldwork in Kazakhstan, computational modeling, and collaborative database initiatives in paleoanthropology.
