Eleanna aims to give voice to the people of the past. She is a trained bioarchaeologist, working on the excavation, curation, analysis, and contextual interpretation of skeletal assemblages from the Aegean for over 15 years. Her interests cover a broad range of human skeletal studies, the anthropology of death and burial, and the history of disease. Her research focuses on paleopathology, human variation, biological affinity, kinship, cemetery structure, and burial practices. She further specializes in biogeochemistry, generating isotopic data for the reconstruction of diet and mobility. More recently, she has been integrating bioarchaeological and archaeogenetic data, working towards a diachronic perspective on the populations of Attica and surrounding regions.
