Laura Viñas Caron

Laura obtained a BA in Archaeology and a MSc in Biological Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. After that, she joined the BioArCh research laboratory at the University of York as an Erasmus trainee. Her investigation explored Chalcolithic and Bronze Age subsistence strategies in the Iberian Peninsula through peptide mass fingerprinting (ZooMS) and stable isotope analysis of human, faunal, and botanical remains, providing new evidences for the adoption of millet in the Iberian Peninsula. Subsequently, she worked at the Laboratory of Archaeozoology (UAB) in collaboration with the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA). There she continued to use stable isotope analysis to elucidate animal domestication processes and early management strategies during the Neolithic. Laura is now conducting a PhD at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, as a TALENT fellow (MSCA-COFUND).
