Domnika VERDIANU

I am a bioarchaeologist and currently a university assistant (predoctoral researcher) in the Department of Prehistory and Historical Archaeology at the University of Vienna. Since 2021, I have also been part of the “Prehistoric Identities” research group, led by Katharina Rebay-Salisbury at the Austrian Archaeological Institute (Austrian Academy of Sciences). I hold a Master's degree in Prehistory and Historical Archaeology from the University of Vienna. My research focuses on mortuary practices during the Bronze Age in Central Europe, as well as osteology, palaeopathology, and archaeothanatology. My PhD project investigates the bioarchaeology of children and adolescents, with a particular emphasis on sex-specific burial practices during the Early Bronze Age.
