Dr Tammy Buonasera, member of ERC Paleochar team, gave a talk in Instituto Universitario de Bio-Orgánica Antonio González (IUBO) entitled Animal fats and ancient pyro technologies: reading the residues in archaeological hearth deposits.
Dr Buonasera works on molecular and isotopic studies to characterize animal fats in archaeological contexts.
The aim of these analyses is to determine what these fats are and which animals were consumed.
Through isotopic methods, her research is focused in the study of culinary techniques and the use of fossil fuels.
