About
Julia Zastrow graduated in 2017 from the University of Tübingen, Germany with a B.A. in Classical Archaeology and Paleoanthropology. In June 2020 she completed her M.Sc. in Archaeological Sciences at the University of Tübingen, specializing in zooarchaeology. The M.Sc. thesis research focused on the paleoenvironmental reconstruction in the Phuthiatsana River Basin based on microfauna during the transition period from the Pleistocene to the Holocene. During her Master’s, she never lost her interest in Paleoanthropology and recently joined the Paleoanthropology working group as a doctoral student, funded through the Excellence Cluster Strategy of the University of Tübingen. Her research focuses on the evolution and ecology of hominins in East Africa. The Ph.D. project aims for the reconstruction and taxonomic affiliation of hominin fossil skulls from Tanzania by applying virtual anthropology.
