Research
A/P Halcrow is a bioarchaeologist with a research focus on infant and child health and disease in the past. She leads and is an Associate Investigator on several multidisciplinary projects investigating the effects that the adoption and intensification of agriculture has on health in the past, with a regional focus on Southeast Asia.
Recently, A/P Halcrow has started a project researching adaptation and environmental change in Northern Chile using large superbly-preserved prehistoric human collections from the region, which include the earliest examples of artificial mummification in the world.
A/P Halcrow's research is funded through sources including the New Zealand Royal Society Marsden Fund, University of Otago Research Grants, and Fulbright New Zealand. She is also a Partner Investigator on Australian Council Research Grants.
Siân is the principal applicant and co-Director of the University of Otago Research Theme: Asia-Pacific Biocultural Health: Past and present.
Siân's research team includes:
- Dr Charlotte King (NZ Rutherford Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow)
- Ms Rachel Scott (Assistant Research Fellow)
- Dr Angela Clark (Affiliate Researcher)
- Helen Gilmore (PhD student)
- Neha Dhavale (PhD student)
- Gail Elliott (PhD student)
