Research Summary
Dr. Garofalo’s scholarly interests and activities are allied in anatomical inquiry and growth and development with a current focus on health and the impact of the growth process on human postcranial ontogenetic variation and bone function. She addresses this with several archaeological populations from Europe and North America and with the Çatalhöyük Research Project in Turkey.
