Profile
Professor Anne Keenleyside joined the department in 2002. She is a physical anthropologist with expertise in bioarchaeology and palaeopathology. Her current research focuses on the health and diet of Classical populations. She has conducted fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic, Siberia, and Romania, and is currently conducting a bioarchaeological study of human skeletal remains from the Greek colonial site of Apollonia Pontica (5th to 2nd centuries BC) on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, and the Roman site of Leptiminus (2nd to 4th centuries AD) on the Mediterranean coast of Tunisia. Her research is supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. In addition, she recently obtained funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation to support the construction of a bioarchaeology lab to study of health and diet of past populations using stable isotopes, radiography, palaeohistology, and microscopy.
