Her inquiries regard anthropogenic plant introductions, from the Dena\u2019ina Athabascan migration from interior landscapes to the coast, and from the Russian Colonial period. For her doctoral research, she plans on using a community-based archaeological approach, while employing landscape archaeology and paleoethnobotanical methods to investigate questions relating to gardening outside Dena\u2019ina seasonal dwellings and the impacts of Russian Colonization on the gathering practices of Dena\u2019ina women. She is interested in new species introductions and how the seasonal availability of various plants influenced decisions about population mobility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span data-ogsc=\"black\">Before coming to Boston University, Isabel attended Barnard College, Columbia University, where she completed her BA in Archaeology\u00a0<\/span><span data-ogsc=\"black\">with a focus on environmental science (2016-2020).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Awards &amp; Grants<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><i>forthcoming<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Publications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>forthcoming<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":20681,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/15147"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20681"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/15147\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15148,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/15147\/revisions\/15148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/anthrop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
