Teresa Fernández-Crespo

Senior Postdoctoral Researcher, Universidad de Valladolid

She received her BA and MA in History and PhD in Prehistoric Archaeology from the University of the Basque Country, Spain. She has worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Oxford, UK, and the CNRS, France. Her research interests include the study of human lifeways, identity, social inequality and violence in late prehistoric southwestern Europe, with a particular focus on the Iberian Peninsula, through interdisciplinary approaches that combine human osteoarchaeology and multi-isotopic analyses. She currently leads the project Isotopic approach to identity during the late prehistory of the Iberian Peninsula, and is the head of the ISOPRINT laboratory at the Universidad de Valladolid.

Javier Ordoño

CEO, Arkikus

He received his BA and MA in History from the University of the Basque Country, Spain. He co-founded Arkikus in 2019, a startup focused on the research and dissemination of historical and archaeological heritage through new technologies, where he leads the areas of documentation, project development and communication. He has directed several archaeological excavation and remote sensing prospecting programs, recently including those at the Legaire Megalithic Park and the Roman site of Iruña-Veleia in Álava, Spain, and is an active member of national and international research and scientific dissemination projects.

Rick Schulting

Professor of Scientific and Prehistoric Archaeology in the School of Archaeology, University of Oxford.

He received his BA and MA in Archaeology from Simon Fraser University, Canada, and his PhD from the University of Reading, UK. His research interests include the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Europe, prehistoric hunter-gatherers in southern Siberia and Japan, and horticulturalists in the pre-Columbian Caribbean. His research employs radiocarbon dating and stable isotope analyses to investigate diet and mobility at increasingly high resolution, most recently making use of sequential dentine sampling to trace life histories. Another research theme involves documenting skeletal evidence for violence among prehistoric hunter-gatherers and farmers.
