Who We Are
Vision
The Norman Archaeology Lab reconstructs how human communities and the non-human world have shaped each other across deep time using transdisciplinary science. We believe that science demands a team culture of curiosity, rigour, and belonging.
Mission
We combine zooarchaeological, genetic, and paleoenvironmental methods to study human-environmental relationships, working in partnership with Arctic communities. We train researchers in an environment where questions are welcome, credit is shared, members mentor each other across career stages, and we celebrate accomplishments together.
