Annelise Binois is a French zooarchaeologist currently employed as an assistant lecturer in Environmental Archaeology at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and as a post-doctoral fellow on the ERC Beasts-to-Craft project at the University of Copenhagen. After graduating as a veterinarian from the École Nationale Vétérinaire d'Alfort (France) in 2004 and working as a mixed-practice vet for six years, she turned to archaeology, obtaining an MSc (2011) and a PhD (2017) in Environmental Archaeology at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. At the crossroads between her degrees, her doctoral dissertation focused on the identification and diagnosis of mass mortality events in archaeological livestock in Europe, especially in the Roman and Medieval periods. Her research interests encompass all topics pertaining to animal health and disease in past societies, including, but not limited to, animal paleopathology. Her current project aims at exploring the physical and molecular traces of past animal disease in medieval parchments, in order to document livestock health in the Middle Ages and its impact on parchment production and trade.

His research focuses on the persistence of proteins in ancient samples, using modelling to explore the racemization of amino acids and thermal history to predict the survival of DNA and other molecules. Using a combination of approaches (including immunology and protein mass spectrometry) his research detects and interprets protein remnants in archaeological and fossil remains.
