I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. Using radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modeling I develop accurate chronologies focusing in the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic period. I supervise the bone sample pretreatment in the laboratory, using the methods developed during my PhD at the MPI. I am responsible for sample selection at the sites, presently mainly in Central and Southern Europe. For AMS-dating of collagen and graphite prepared in our laboratory we co-operate with the AMS facilities of Mannheim (bernd.kromercez-archaeometrie.de) and Oxford (thomas.highamrlaha.ox.ac.uk).

My actual research provides chronologies for the sites of:

  • Denisova, PI Svante Paabo
  • Les Cottes, PI Marie Soressi
  • Pech de l’Aze IV, PI Shannon Mc Pherron
  • Arcy-sur-Cure, PI Jean-Jacques Hublin
