Dr. Carli Peters

Postdoctoral Researcher
Department of Archaeology
146/147

Main Focus

Carli is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History. For her research, she uses peptide mass fingerprinting to gain insight into Australian faunal assemblages by improving identification rates.

Curriculum Vitae

Carli received both her BA in Archaeology (2016) and RMSc in Bioarchaeology (2018) from Leiden University. Her RMSc research focused on the reconstruction of the site formation history of the Middle Pleistocene site Schöningen 13II-4 by means of spatial analysis, spatial statistics and orientation analyses of faunal remains. In 2023, she successfully defended her PhD at the Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena.
