Description

*The study of archaeological bone remains by means of stable isotopes to reconstruct of ancient environmental conditions.
* Besides by means of stable isotopes (oxygen and strontium), mobility studies and provenance areas of human, fauna and objects can be established.
* Archaeometry applied to mortars, pottery and metals allows to investigate the manufacturing technology of the materials in historical periods.

Lines of Research

  1.  Mobility and provenance studies in humans, fauna, manufactured products and foodstuffs.
  2.  Reconstructions of environmental conditions in historical periods.
  3.  Archaeometry of archaeological materials.

Equipment
