Gabriele Russo graduated in 2017 from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” in Italy with a B.A. in Archeology. In March 2021, he completed his M.Sc. in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Tübingen, specializing in zooarchaeology. In his M.Sc. thesis, he investigated the fauna of the Einhornhöhle, a Middle Paleolithic cave site in central Germany. During his academic career, he has accumulated extensive fieldwork experience, participating in 17 archaeological surveys and excavation campaigns covering different periods and site contexts in Italy, Germany, and South Africa. Gabriele is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Zooarchaeology in the framework of ERC project REVIVE at the University of Tübingen for the study of archeofaunal material from Late Pleistocene Lebanese sites. His interest focuses on studying the evolution of human cognition and the ecology and subsistence of human species in the past – particularly during the transitional periods of the Paleolithic – employing traditional zooarchaeological methods combined with isotopic analysis, paleoproteomics, geometric and morphometrics.
