Victoria Lockwood

Postdoctoral fellow

Main research
My research focuses on the level of behavioural resolution that it is possible to obtain from skeletal morphology and the implications for the potential arboreal locomotor capabilities of fossil hominins. I focus on the appendicular skeleton, particularly the upper limb.

Postdoctoral fellow

Harvard University, USA

Main research
Based on experimental approaches, one of the main objectives of my research is to capture the consumption of different proportions of food resources (similar to fallback foods targeted by early hominins) in the diet of pigs from the ANR projet DIET-Scratches.

Postdoctoral fellow

Main research
Le principal objectif de ce projet est de reconstituer le contexte environnemental accompagnant l’émergence de la technologie oldowayenne dans la Formation de Shungura (basse vallée de l’Omo, Ethiopie) autour de 2,3 Ma. Ce projet s’inscrit dans la continuité de mon travail de doctorat.
