Alejandro León Cristóbal is a doctoral researcher from the University of La Rioja (Spain). He does research in marine mollusc shells, ethnoarchaeology, oxygen isotope analysis, Palaeolithic Archaeology and Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition. The main objective in his doctoral thesis is to improve the understanding of the last hunter-gatherer-fisher societies of the Cantabrian Region.

We have been busy in the last few months and decided to give you an overview of all the things we did in one go, so that not a single output gets forgotten. This includes several trips of our team, but also guests coming to visit us at LEIZA.

The team working with the LIBS system at the IESL lab.

During our two-week visit, we had the opportunity to collaborate with the Photonics for Heritage Science (PhoHS) group as part of the new OtoLIBS project (Otoliths analysis using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy).
