Arianne Boileau is an Assistant Professor of Archaeology in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Mount Royal University. Her research examines human-environment interactions in Mesoamerica using zooarchaeology, taphonomy, biomolecular and geochemical analyses, and ethnohistory. She has participated in archaeological projects in Belize, Mexico, France, and Canada, and analyzed faunal remains from these countries, as well as Guatemala, Peru, and the southeastern United States. Through her interdisciplinary work, Boileau uses isotope geochemistry to investigate the captive management and trade of animals by Indigenous groups in Mesoamerica, ancient DNA to investigate the impact of human activity on the genetic diversity and structure of freshwater turtles, and Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) to help identify zooarchaeological reptilian and bird remains.
