Principal investigator (PI)
Dr. Giacomo Capuzzo
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow
I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at the Bagolini Laboratoy: Archaeology Archaeometry Photography (LaBAAF), Department of Humanities, University of Trento (Italy).
I am the Principal Investigator of the MOLA project (HORIZON-MSCA-2021-PF) based in the LaBAAF. The main topic of my research is the use of 14C dates and Sr-O-S isotopes to reconstruct the behaviour of past societies, providing information about phenomena like the adoption and spread of innovations, human mobility processes, socio-cultural changes, and demographic fluctuations at a European and regional scale.

Supervisor
Prof. Diego Angelucci
Associate professor of Archaeological Methods
Diego Angelucci is associate professor at the Bagolini Laboratoy: Archaeology Archaeometry Photography (LaBAAF), Department of Humanities, University of Trento (Italy). He earned graduation in Geology at the University of Milan (Italy) and PhD in Anthropology at the University of Ferrara (Italy) discussing a dissertation on the last hunter-gatherers of the eastern Italian Alps. During his studies, he joined the ITC at Ghent (Belgium) for specialized training in soil micromorphology and archaeopedology. Angelucci's main areas of research include: geoarchaeology; archaeological stratigraphy and site formation processes; archaeological micromorphology; old world Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic; geomorphology and Quaternary geology. Present research focuses on the relationships between past humans and their environment, with special attention to the uplands and Mediterranean region.

Partners
Prof. Christophe Snoeck
Research Professor in Archaeological Sciences
Chistophe Snoeck is research professor at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Belgium) and head of the Brussels Bioarchaeology Lab (BB-LAB). Following a MSc in chemical engineering, he obtained a second MSc and a PhD in archaeological science from the University of Oxford (UK). In his research, he combines his multi-disciplinary expertise in archaeology and isotope geochemistry to answer key archaeological questions. Prof. Snoeck was the Scientific Coordinator of the CRUMBEL project - Cremation, Urns and Mobility: population dynamics in BELgium - funded by the Belgian Excellence of Science program (EoS) and he is currently PI of the ERC Starting Grant LUMIERE that aims to develop new proxies for the study of charred and calcined bone to answer questions of mobility and landscape use at the European Level.

Prof. Clement Bataille
Associate professor in Earth and Environmental Sciences
Clement Bataille is associate professor at the University of Ottawa (Canada) and head of the the SAiVE group (Spatio-temporal Analytics of Isotope Variations in the Environment). Clement Bataille received his MSc in environmental engineering from the Institut National Polytechniques de Toulouse (France) and his PhD in Geology in from the University of Utah. He spent two years in Houston Texas working as a geoscientist before returning to academia and taking a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. With his lab group at the the University of Ottawa he uses spatiotemporal isotope variations to 1) Develop geolocation tools in ecology and forensics sciences, 2) Investigate weathering processes in rivers, and 3) Reconstruct paleoenvironments in greenhouse periods.
