Prof. Speth’s groundbreaking work on #Palaeolithic #diets reshaped our understanding of how our ancestors lived, hunted, and shared #food.
His #interdisciplinary approach showed that fat and social bonds, not only protein, were key to our species’ survival.

With the extension, we can now expand our research to other major Greek sanctuaries, such as Delphi.
From fracture-pattern analysis to weight measurements, from cross-site comparisons to Bronze Age hoards of ancient Europe – we aim to uncover the stories hidden in these fragments.
