Professor Danielle Schreve

Personal profile

Danielle Schreve is a vertebrate palaeontologist and specialist in Quaternary mammals.  Her research encompasses diverse aspects, including evolution, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology and reconstructing early human subsistence patterns through the analysis of animal bones.  She is also interested in Pleistocene stratigraphy and geological correlation and in British and European Early and Middle Palaeolithic archaeology.  Much of her current research is related to the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project, a £3.3 million collaboration over 11 years (funded by the Leverhulme Trust), which brings together geologists, palaeontologists, archaeologists and other specialists.   Most recently, she has been developing research into the long-term effects of large herbivores on the landscape and the possibility of “re-wilding” parts of Britain through the introduction of Konik horses as wetland grazing managers.
