Robyn Nakano

I am a PhD student working in the Great Ape Behaviour (GAB) Lab at the University of Victoria. In my research, I apply archaeological approaches to questions about wild chimpanzee behaviour, with a focus on chimpanzee accumulative stone throwing (AST). Currently, I am investigating the behaviour's purpose and material culture through analysis of its behavioural context and perishable and non-perishable material components.
