Dr. Perdikaris is a professor for the Department of Anthropology, and an environmental archaeologist with a specialty in animal bones from archaeological sites-zooarchaeology. She is interested in people – environment interactions through time and the response of both to big climatic events. She has worked in Northern Norway and Iceland concentrating on the transition from the Viking Age to medieval times and how the early commercialization of the cod fisheries (AD 1200) affected the people and economy of the area. The last few years she has been focusing on the island of Barbuda in the Caribbean where she explored how heritage work can inform sustainability questions for the future.
