Background

About Giulia Riccomi

I am a bioarcheologist with extensive experience in the interdisciplinary analysis of human skeletal remains. The main focus of my work is on the reconstruction of lifeways in Italy and, more broadly, the Mediterranean area during protohistoric and historic times, and my research interests crosscut a wide range of disciplines. Indeed, I advocate the adoption of integrated approaches to the study of the past, which, by bringing together osteoarchaeology, palaeopathology, biological anthropology, archaeological science, and funerary archaeology, can ensure a more comprehensive interpretation of human skeletal data within relevant archaeological contexts. After completing my PhD in 2020, I have taken up a postdoctoral research fellow position at the Division of Paleopathology (University of Pisa), where I combine osteoarchaeology and palaeopathology with biochemical and biomolecular analyses for the study of large osteological collections dating back to the 8th-4th centuries BCE. I am keen to explore new research areas and opportunities, and I am open to discussing potential projects to be carried out in the framework of stimulating scientific collaborations. I am ready for new challenges and looking forward to what the future holds!
