Grounds for election

Aimée is a specialist in Northwest European hunter-gatherer material culture and funerary archaeology. She is also the Director of the York Experimental Archaeological Research (YEAR) Centre, which she founded in 2015. Her research ranges from landscape-scale provenancing studies to microwear analysis of stone and organic artefacts. She is particularly interested in experimental archaeological research (various materials, techniques, time periods) hunter-gatherer ideology and belief systems, art and craftwork. More recently she has turned her focus to grave goods, particularly tools and their role in funerary rites. Aimée has worked on some of NW Europe’s most famous Mesolithic settlement and burial sites: Hermitage (Ireland), Hardinxveld-Gissendam Polderweg and De Bruin (the Netherlands), Téviec (France) and Star Carr (UK).
