Background
Chloe graduated from University of Reading with a BSc in Archaeology in 2016. Her research focused on 12-13th Century osteoarthritis in England and Romania. During her studies she participated in an archaeological excavation of the Roman town of Silchester in 2014, an archaeological excavation of a Romanian necropolis, Jucu de Sus, in 2015, and a forensics short course at Durham University in 2016.
In 2019, Chloe completed her MSc in Forensic Archaeology and Anthropology at Cranfield University. The dissertation written for her degree utilized data collected by one of her supervisors, Stephanie Giles, to investigate the factors that influenced mummification and skeletonization. Upon completion of her dissertation, she and Stephanie Giles converted this into a publishable paper that was submitted and approved by Archaeological and Environmental Forensic Science.
Chloe is currently a part-time PhD student at Cranfield University, working under the supervision of Dr Mark Pawlett and Dr Nicholas Marquez-Grant.
Current activities
Chloe is carrying out her PhD research with both Cranfield Forensic Institute and the Centre for Agricultural and Environmental. Her research is focused on the interaction of clothing and decomposition within a buried environment, potentially using pig proxies (sus scrofa domesticus).
Alongside her PhD, she is a team member of CRICC (Cranfield Recovery and Identification of Conflict Casualties).
