Dr Elise Alonzi selected to participate in 4-day Design Workshop on Human Migration
Dr Elise Alonzi, (opens in a new window)Irish Research Council (IRC) Postdoctoral Fellow, will represent the School of Archaeology at a 4-day Design Workshop that aims to create synthetic proposals to fund future research on human migration. The workshop will be held by the (opens in a new window)Coalition for Archaeological Synthesis (CfAS), an organisation composed of researchers who have committed to sharing data in order to broaden the impact of archaeological research. The interdisciplinary team of experts will gather at the Amerind Foundation campus in Dragoon, Arizona, USA in September.
Dr. Alonzi’s research bridges the gap between data collected on the level of the individual and the study of broad cultural trends. She is a bioarchaeologist who uses isotopic analysis of human remains to study how people travelled throughout their lifetimes. In her current IRC postdoctoral research, she is assessing the connection between religious identity and mobility in medieval Ireland by analysing the bone chemistry of individuals who were buried at medieval Irish ecclesiastical sites in collaboration with members of the National Centre for Isotope Geochemistry (NCIG) at UCD.
