About Petra Vaiglova
Petra Vaiglova is a biomolecular archaeologist focused on exploring the impact of human–animal interactions on ancient landscapes. She is currently developing new ways of extracting geochemical data from animal teeth. She uses this data to reconstruct the environments in which the animals lived and understand how the animals' lives were impacted by past human societies. Her research has contributed to knowledge on a range of diverse topics, from the development of farming in Neolithic Greece and Bronze Age China, to the settling of hyper-arid environments during the Byzantine period in the Southern Levant.
