Angela Lieverse's research interests and expertise lay predominately with middle Holocene (7000-1000 BC) foragers of the Circumpolar North. Since 1997, she has conducted research in the Lake Baikal region of Siberia (Russia), excavating and examining the skeletal and dental remains of Neolithic through Bronze Age (5800-1700 BC) hunter-gatherers. Her focus has been on ancient health and lifestyle reconstruction, ranging from dental indicators of physiological stress (dental enamel hypoplasia) to skeletal indicators of activity patterns and mobility (osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal stress markers).  She is currently in the process of expanding my research to other Circumpolar regions, investigating ancient hunter-gatherers from the North Pacific (e.g., Hokkaido, Japan).
