Kroon, Erik J. (Dr.)
Erik Kroon is a researcher at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University where he obtained both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. His research foci are the Prehistory of Northwest Europe, in particular during the Late Neolithic, ceramic technology, and network analysis. He has also worked as Finds Advisor Prehistory in the project Portable Antiquities of the Netherlands and as researcher in the projects Economies of Destruction and The Talking Dead.
Kuijpers, Maikel H.G. Mphil (Mphil)
Maikel Kuijpers studied prehistoric archaeology at Leiden University. In 2009 Maikel was awarded a PhD position at Cambridge University. He will be participating in the Forging Identities project; an international project on Bronze Age mobility for which ten PhD’s and four post-docs have been appointed.
Kuin, Inger N.I. (Dr.)
Inger N.I. Kuin received a PhD from New York University. She currently works at Groningen University in the Ancient History Department, studying memory, political change, and crisis recovery in the Roman East during the first century BC for the After the Crisis research project, which is part of the OIKOS Anchoring Innovation research agenda. Dr. Kuin has published on religion and humor in antiquity, on race and ethnicity in Lucian of Samosata, on Latin epigraphy, and on Roman Athens
Kulstad-González, Pauline M. (Dr.)
Dr. Pauline M. Kulstad-González has a B.A. in Latin American Studies and Anthropology from Macalester College (MN, USA); a Masters in Latin American Studies (concentration Archaeology) from the University of Florida (USA); and a PhD in Archaeology from Leiden University (The Netherlands).
Kutscher, Silvia (Prof. Dr.)
Silvia Kutscher is a distinguished academic currently serving as a Professor of Theory and History of Multimodal Communication at the Institute for Archaeology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She pursued her studies in General Linguistics, German Studies, and History at the University of Cologne from 1989 to 1995. Kutscher completed her Ph.D. in 2000 and earned her habilitation in 2007, both at the University of Cologne. Her research primarily focuses on semiotics and the interplay of language, communication, and multimodal discourse, contributing significantly to the understanding of linguistic theories in archaeological contexts.
Lambers, Karsten (Dr.)
Karsten Lambers is an associate professor and head of the Digital Archaeology research group at the Faculty of Archaeology, Leiden University. His research considers computational methods (e.g., Machine Learning) that enable the (semi-) automated extraction of meaningful archaeological entities from large bodies of digital data from different sources as a starting point for archaeological analysis and heritage management. Examples include the detection of burial mounds in LiDAR data and the detection of archaeological concepts in excavation reports. He also conducts multi-proxy analysis of human-environmental interaction with a focus on settlement patterns and resource use.
Lamesa, Anais (Dr.)
Anais Lamesa studied Art history and Archaeology at Panthéon-Sorbonne University and Paris-Sorbonne University. She was also a teaching fellow at Paris-Nanterre University, then a high school teacher. Subsequently, as a PI, she managed the Troglopie project (Troglodytisme en Ethiopie), funded by DIM-matériaux anciens et patrimoniaux/ Île-de-France fellowship at the CNRS, involving four research institutions (three French ones and an Ethiopian one) and a commercial company. In 2022, she obtained the French diploma of Senior GIS technician. The same year, she was appointed as the director of the archaeology department at the French Institute for Anatolian Studies in Istanbul, where she is responsible for the establishment of archaeological research programmes and their dissemination in Turkey.
