Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself 🙋🏼♀️
I am from Greece 🇬🇷 but I live in Belgium🇧🇪I am a joint PhD researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels and Université libre de Bruxelles. For my PhD I investigate how cremation was performed in past societies using infrared and isotope analyses.

🎉 Thrilled to share our new paper just published in @PLOSONE!
In this study we explored how weather & seasonality impact cremation conditions using experimental archaeology, FTIR-ATR, and isotope analysis.

When iron was introduced during the Later Bronze Age of Central Europe, it was first used for ornaments and decorative purposes. Hilt of a bronze swords with dark iron inlays, 9th century BC, found in a well at Unterkrumbach. Naturhistorisches Museum Nürnberg. #archaeology
