- Profile
IoA involvement:
Annemieke is a guest lecturer and researcher, and regularly contributes to teaching for Masters courses in Palaeolithic Archaeology, including experimental approaches to Pleistocene archaeology and weaponry in human evolutionary contexts, and has regularly led sessions for the ‘Archaeo-Tech’ course. She is currently collaborating with Matt Pope on a number of publications, including forthcoming research about the Pleistocene site of Boxgrove. A further current collaboration with Matt Pope includes the PalaeoLondon project, with the aim to produce teaching and engagement materials for communities to better understand the city’s deep past. Her recent work on the archaeology of children also includes collaborating with researchers at UCL Anthropology.
