Juliet is pursuing her doctorate in Biological Anthropology with a specialization in Paleoanthropology. Her particular research interests involve documenting the paleoenvironments associated with the South African hominins and how changes in these environments might have influenced hominin evolution. She has been involved in excavations at several fossil localities in South Africa including Plover’s Lake, Coopers, and Gladysvale Cave, and has recently expanded her work into Botswana. At present Juliet is senior research assistant in charge of field operations at the early Pliocene site of Meloding (formerly the Virginia Railway Cutting) in the Free State of South Africa. In addition to her excavation experience, Juliet is also interested in the taphonomic effects of hominin and carnivore activities on patterns of bone fragmentation.
