I am a PhD student in archaeology and I am interested in understanding the dietary evolution of human population from Later Stone Age to the Neolithic in Northwest Africa. My research focuses on the application of both traditional and novel isotopic techniques to investigate past diets, with a particular emphasis on the use of zinc stable isotopes in teeth enamel. This approach aims to answer key questions about dietary transitions during pivotal periods of human evolution, such as the shift from hunting and gathering to food production in Morocco.
