Giacomo Capuzzo and Diego Angelucci organised a workshop titled Isotopes, Life Histories and Social Strategies: New Scientific Challenges in Alpine Archaeology at the University of Trento on December 10th, 2024. The workshop offered insights into the scientific applications of isotopes in archaeology, with a special focus on bioarchaeology and the reconstruction of human mobility in the Alpine region between the Neolithic and the Bronze Age through the multi-isotope analysis of prehistoric inhumation and cremation burials.
Christophe Snoeck, head of the Brussels Bioarchaeology Lab (BB-LAB) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium, was the invited speaker. Giacomo Capuzzo, PI of the MOLA project, presented the first exciting results and Diego Angelucci introduced the event.
Christophe Snoeck and Giacomo Capuzzo also visited Ötzi, the Iceman, in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.
