This March Dr Jessica Feito joined the archaeobotany team at GIAP-ICAC embarking on a new Marie Sktodowska-Curie Action titled ‘FoodMod-RGB: Modelling food plant trade in the Roman provinces of Gaul and Britannia’ (HORIZON-MSCA-2023-PF-01)
Jessica will be working under the supervision of Dr Alexandra Livarda and Prof. Hector Orengo to investigate foodways, trade and the process of urbanisation in two very different provinces of the Roman Empire. She completed her PhD research at the University of Reading, UK, in 2021 on ‘Regional Variation in Diet and Crop Choices: A Comparison of Roman Italy and the Near East’ and since then held various research positions in the academia and the commercial sector. Her current MSCA project will expand and enrich her previous research, also with the application of new methodologies. We are very much looking forward to the upcoming results!
