OverviewAI-generated summary

Research by François B. Lanoë focuses on the archaeology and paleoecology of ancient human occupations, particularly in Beringia and the Americas. His work investigates the transformation of landscapes through early land use and the subsistence economies of ancient hunter-gatherer populations. Lanoë has examined evidence from sites such as Swan Point CZ4B in Alaska, analyzing animal remains as raw materials and studying paleodiets through stable isotope analyses. He has also contributed to understanding the early human presence in the Americas, evaluating current research on the earliest occupations.

His research also extends to the Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods, with investigations into sequences in Crimea, Ukraine. Lanoë's publications address the use of personal ornaments in early human societies and the movements of megafauna in relation to human activity, such as the lifetime movements of a woolly mammoth in an Alaskan hunter-gatherer camp. He has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for collaborative research exploring subsistence economies, technological organization, and site structure in Eastern Beringia.
