Sabine Eggers
As head of the LAB, my main interest is the interaction between evolutionary, genetic and biocultural factors associated with health in past and modern human societies. Until my post-doc I worked on themes such as chronobiology, demographic history, genetic counselling and ethics as well as paleopathology CV.

In Brazil, I am associated to the Laboratório de Estudos Evolutivos Humanos and the LAB, both from the Biosciences Institute at USP. My main research interests are Human Evolution, Funerary Archaeology, Craniometry, Geoarchaeology and Forensic Anthropology. I coordinate a project on the mortuary rituals from Lapa dos Santos and Bioarchaeology of Serra da Capivara, both in Brazil. Recently I worked as a forensic scientist dealing with the identification of individuals missed during the Brazilian Dictatorship.

I got my MSc and PhD on microvestiges retrieved from dental calculus for paleodietary reconstruction of shellmound dwellers at the same institution (advisors were Sabine Eggers –LAB, and Rita Scheel-Ybert -Laboratório de Paleoecologia Vegetal – Museu Nacional do RJ). Field experience include excavations at coastal and riverine shellmounds in Brazil (organized by the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology USP), a Celtic site in Austria (coordinated by Wolfgang Neubauer from VIAS – Vienna Institute for Archaeological Science), a 6 months stay with Prof Karl Reinhard of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a 6 months stay at the Plant Foods and Hominin Dietary Ecology Group (run by Amanda Henry from the Max Planck Institute, Leipzig, Germany). Currently, I am finishing my post-doc at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).
My main research interests are: starch, phytoliths, shellmounds, prehistory, Archaeobotany and Bioarchaeology.
