Dr. Cara Hirst earned her PhD in dental and skeletal bioarchaeology from University College London. Her research focuses on bone remodelling and biomechanical alterations to the human skeleton and inference of behaviour and activity from skeletal morphology. While her specialty is 3D geometric morphometrics and human mandibular morphology, she is interested in a range of methods and behaviours that may be inferred from skeletal morphology. She has presented at numerous conferences and published research papers and chapters for edited books.
