Claire E Heckel
An anthropological archaeologist with an interdisciplinary approach to the roles that dress, adornment, and related technologies play in prehistoric and
historical societies. Contexts of research include the Middle Palaeolithic to Upper Palaeolithic transition in France, the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene in Malawi, ethnohistorical museum collections from the indigenous Nations of the Great Plains (in collaboration with source communities). I am also involved in community-engaged historical research related to the history of slavery in North Carolina, with the "People Not Property" project at UNC Greensboro and a team of faculty partners at North Carolina Central University, East Carolina University, and UNC Pembroke

the evaluation of the major, minor and trace element compositions of archaeological material. The current study
applies micro-PIXE/PIGE analysis to mammoth ivory artefacts from four Palaeolithic sites (Abri Castanet, Vogelherd Cave, Grottes de la Verpillière I and II) in France and Germany in order to assess the effectiveness of this approach to material older than 30,000 y BP.
