What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Archaeology
Travis Rayne Pickering mainly investigates Taphonomy, Paleontology, Ecology, Archaeology and Australopithecus.
His Taphonomy study combines topics in areas such as Prehistory, Early Pleistocene, Ungulate and Zooarchaeology.
His Paleontology study combines topics in areas such as Hammerstone and Limb bones.
His work on Carnivore, Assemblage, Wet season and Habitat as part of general Ecology study is frequently linked to Underground storage, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Many of his research projects under Archaeology are closely connected to Manufactured material with Manufactured material, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
As a member of one scientific family, Travis Rayne Pickering mostly works in the field of Australopithecus, focusing on Postcrania and, on occasion, Paranthropus boisei, Dentition, Paranthropus and Paleoanthropology.
His most cited work include:
- 2.6-Million-year-old stone tools and associated bones from OGS-6 and OGS-7, Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. (305 citations)
- 2.6-Million-year-old stone tools and associated bones from OGS-6 and OGS-7, Gona, Afar, Ethiopia. (305 citations)
- Experimental patterns of hammerstone percussion damage on bones: implications for inferences of carcass processing by humans (190 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Travis Rayne Pickering focuses on Archaeology, Taphonomy, Paleontology, Australopithecus and Cave.
His studies in Taphonomy integrate themes in fields like Assemblage, Paleoanthropology, Pleistocene and Carnivore.
His studies deal with areas such as Hammerstone and Limb bones as well as Paleontology.
His research investigates the link between Australopithecus and topics such as Postcrania that cross with problems in Paranthropus boisei.
His Cave research integrates issues from Sedimentology, Early Pleistocene, Homo erectus and Oldowan.
The Ungulate, Leopard, Zooarchaeology and Habitat research he does as part of his general Ecology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Subsistence agriculture, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Archaeology (79.29%)
- Taphonomy (78.70%)
- Paleontology (73.37%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Australopithecus (64.50%)
- Anatomy (37.28%)
- Paranthropus robustus (33.73%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Australopithecus, Anatomy, Paranthropus robustus, Paranthropus and Cave.
His work on Australopithecus africanus as part of his general Australopithecus study is frequently connected to Context, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
His Paranthropus robustus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cortical bone, Femoral head and Assemblage.
His Cave research incorporates themes from Early Pleistocene and Taphonomy.
Taphonomy is a subfield of Paleontology that he studies.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range and Absolute dating.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The endocast of StW 573 ('Little Foot') and hominin brain evolution (18 citations)
- The endocast of StW 573 ('Little Foot') and hominin brain evolution (18 citations)
- The long limb bones of the StW 573 Australopithecus skeleton from Sterkfontein Member 2: Descriptions and proportions. (16 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Paleontology
- Ecology
- Archaeology
His primary areas of study are Context, Australopithecus, Australopithecus africanus, Anatomy and Paranthropus.
In his papers, Travis Rayne Pickering integrates diverse fields, such as Context, Excavation, Underground storage, Shovel, Environmental resource management and Foraging.
Specifically, his work in Australopithecus is concerned with the study of Australopithecus sediba.
His Australopithecus africanus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Assemblage and Morphology.
His Anatomy research incorporates elements of Early Pleistocene and Fossil Record.
His work on Paranthropus is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Paleoneurology.
