Dr Dustin White
Research Fellow
Dr Dustin White is a Research Fellow in Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
My academic interests are in the fields of geoarchaeology and Eurasian prehistory. For many years I have worked in the Lake Baikal area of southern Siberia investigating late Pleistocene/Holocene floodplain and terrace sequences, multi-proxy lake sediment core data, and the archaeological record of the region, initially as part of my PhD research at the University of Alberta (Canada) followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge. From 2008-2013 I was a postdoc with the RESET Project, linked to both the Institute of Archaeology in Oxford and Archaeology at Southampton, examining the distribution of volcanic cryptotephra and its application to Palaeolithic research in Europe and North Africa. I am currently involved in the development of a new research project investigating the potential of cryptotephra in refining the chronology and climatic context of human evolution in the Levant.
