  Interests:

 

 

  My interests focus on bioarchaeology in its wider sense, meaning malnutrition and skeletal indicators of it,  mechanical stess and injuries, diet and dental health. I'm interested in paleopathology and biomechanics of human body in respect of reconstruction of activity patterns.

In my PhD project I address questions regarding dimensions of social differentiation and mobility, diet patterns and migrations in Early Bronze Age Central European communities, basing on implementation of stable isotopes analyses in human remains researches.
