Info
Effrosyni Roditi graduated in 2017 from the University of Athens, Greece with a B.A. in Archaeology and History of Art. In October 2019 she completed her M.Sc. in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Tübingen, specializing in zooarchaeology. Her M.Sc. thesis examined hominin subsistence strategies at the Asprochaliko rockshelter in Epirus, Greece during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. Currently enrolled as a doctoral candidate in the framework of CROSSROADS project, University of Tübingen, her research draws on a combination of stable isotope and zooarchaeological analyses to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment and palaeoecology of mammalian communities, as well as to investigate the interaction between hominins and their environment during the Middle and Late Pleistocene in Greece.
