About Theo
After receiving my bachelor's degree from The University of Chicago in Anthropology I worked for a Cultural Resource Management firm in the American Midwest as an archaeologist for two years. While pursuing a M.Sc. in Zooarchaeology, at The University of York, I studied the impact of potential bias in the reliability of sheep and goat identification criteria, utilizing Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS).
