Current Position: Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology, Loyola University Chicago

​

Emily Yuko Hallett received her Ph.D. from the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University in 2018 with a focus on Homo sapiens origins in Africa.  She is an archaeologist researching prehistoric human ecology and diet, and she studies animal remains from archaeological sites to reconstruct past habitats and hunting patterns. Her most recent fieldwork is in Morocco and Italy, where she focuses on caves that have early human archaeological deposits from the Late Pleistocene.  Dr. Hallett also uses computational modelling to reconstruct the ecological niche of early humans.

​

Emily has participated in archaeological fieldwork in France, Ethiopia, Morocco, South Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, and Malta. She received her B.A. in 2008 from the University of Washington, and her M.A. in 2010 from Arizona State University.
