Ms. Lauren Michelman completed her Master’s in 2022 under the supervision of Dr. Angela Lieverse at the University of Saskatchewan. Her research examined Harris line frequency in juveniles and young adults from the Middle Holocene Cis-Baikal and worked to address and incorporate critiques relating to the capture and analysis of Harris lines in archaeological remains. Ms. Michelman is currently pursuing her PhD through the College of Medicine and Dentistry at James Cook University, Australia. Her research involves the establishment of methods in the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans to study bone health in archaeological and forensic cases involving human remains while addressing current limitations of histological and radiographical methods in the study of bone health.
