Dr. Christophe Snoeck (Brussel, Belgium) is research profesor and post-doctoral researcher at Vrije universiteit Brussel (VUB). He combines his multi-disciplinary expertize in the fields of archaeology and geochemistry to answer key archaeological questions. His innovative isotope research on cremated bone from archaeological contexts made it finally possible to extract information about the geographical origin of cremated individuals. He analyses isotopes (C, O, Sr) from osteological material to reconstruct mobility, landscape use and funerary practices of past populations that practiced cremation.
