The Division of ArchaeoSciences – the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB) is pleased to announce the 12th ArchaeoSciences Seminar.

These seminars are an original initiative of our division that has the goal of providing a setting for professionals in the Archaeological Sciences field from different parts of the world, to share knowledge, and transmit meaningful information about the latest issues regarding the current methods and approaches used to study the past. It is also a chance for Romanian students to learn more about the various interdisciplinary aspects of archaeology.

This seminar will take place on 28 October 2020, online, and our guest speaker is dr. Ana García-Vázquez from ArchaeoSciences Division of Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB).

She will give an online presentation entitled “Introduction to the use of Stable Isotopes in Archaeology and Palaeontology”.

Dr. Ana García-Vázquez has a degree in Biology from the University of A Coruña (Spain), and a master’s degree in biotechnology from the Universities of A Coruña and Vigo. She carried out her doctoral thesis at the University Institute of Geology of the University of A Coruña on the fossil brown bears of the NW of the Iberian Peninsula. In her thesis she applied methods from classical palaeontology, but also from molecular palaeontology, such as stable isotopes or ancient DNA. Later she has also used these methods in archaeological sites of various chronologies and locations.

She is currently a postdoctoral research in the ArchaeoSciences Division of the Research Institute of the University of Bucharest (ICUB), focused on the study of the Gumelnița site through employing the stable isotopes technique.

Due to the special measures imposed by COVID-19 pandemic, the lecture will be online, starting with 11:00 am (CET), via Google Meet Platform:
