About

Marie Besse is a Professor and Head of Laboratory at the University of Geneva, specializing in Earth and Environmental Sciences in Switzerland. Her research areas encompass isotope analysis of ancient agropastoral societies, forensic applications of 3D surface scans, and multidisciplinary approaches to Late Iron Age communities. Recent publications reflect her focus on ceramic findings and technological characteristics in archaeological contexts, particularly in relation to the Upper Rhône Valley and the emerging Bell Beaker phenomenon.
