Anne-Marie Bacon 🇫🇷

Researcher Anne-Marie Bacon obtained a master degree of palaeontology of vertebrates at the University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris in 1987, and is a permanent researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) since 1997. After research on locomotion of African Miocene primates, she focused on the reconstruction of southeast Asian palaeo ecosystems during the Pleistocene using assemblages of mammals recovered in karstic network. She has worked for two decades in a joint team in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. She obtained an accreditation to supervise research in 2009 at the University Aix-Marseille (France). She supervised 4 master students. One of them (Nicolas Bourgon) is now a PHD student at the Max Planck Institute (Dept of Human Evolution). She is one of the heads of the Tam Hang/Tam Pa Ling project since 2007 (with F. demeter and L. Shackelford). She published 47 peer-reviewed articles, with an h-index of 15.

The research laboratory to which Dr. Anne-Marie Bacon belongs has recently (January 2019) been created by the research public institution CNRS (The French National Center for Scientific Research). The new laboratory named: "Babel: Biology, Anthropology, Biometry, Epigenetic, Lineage", FRE2029 of the CNRS (Dir. Pr. Bertrand Ludes, Institute of Legal Medicine of Paris), is run with the partnership of the University Paris Descartes. The creation of this new research unit originated in the need to respond to a social imperative that has become increasingly important in recent years: recovering the identity of individuals that perished in mass events on national and international territories. The interdisciplinary approach of this research lab also constitutes the basis of an innovative research at the intersection of archaeological sciences, biological sciences, medical sciences and social sciences.
