Kati Hayslep

Hi, my name is Katharina Becker Hayslep and I am a PhD student specialising in osteoarchaeology. My PhD project (self-funded) focuses on the human remains found at Early Neolithic causewayed enclosures and is interested in exploring the funerary practices conducted at these sites. Using an osteobiographical approach, each skeleton and disarticulated bone is examined in detail, creating profiles for each individual and a comprehensive database of human remains from these sites.

I am also a PGR rep for Archaeology and occasionally organise student events.

I studied for a BA in Philosophy and Sociology at Exeter University before doing an MA in Translation at Exeter. After working in translation for a couple of years, I decided I wanted to do something that allowed me to continue to learn and develop so I took the opportunity to study MSc Archaeology at Southampton University. I loved it so much I decided to continue and pursue a PhD at Exeter University.
