I am a Fyssen Foundation Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Coimbra, currently studying the human remains from Mesolithic Muge. I hold a Ph.D. degree from the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, PSL Research University Paris. To date, my research has focused on two chronological and geographical contexts: 1) Southwestern Asia, a region of human population confluences during the Late Pleistocene, and 2) the Iberian Peninsula, the last point of contact between the foraging peoples and migrating waves of food-producing peoples during the Holocene. Coincidentally, the human skeletal remains from these two contexts underwent severe post-mortem alterations (e.g., crushing, compaction, concretion) that have limited previous studies and their conclusions. I am involved in the analysis of several fossils and individuals including the early modern humans from Qafzeh cave (Middle Palaeolithic, Mediterranean Levant) and Dar-es-Soltane II (Middle Palaeolithic, Morocco), the Neanderthal remains from Regourdou (Middle Palaeolithic, France) and of the 1812 soldiers from the Napoleonic Grande Armée, (Kaliningrad, Russia).
