Research
My research is part of the EUROLITHIC project, where I will be focusing on the Italic branch of Indo-european languages. The goal is to use linguistic data about subsistence strategies and metallurgy combined with archaeological data and recent findings from genetics to get a better idea of where speakers of Italic languages came from and who was already there when they arrived.
