Miren Iraeta Orbegozo

Miren Iraeta Orbegozo is a geneticist at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in the analysis of ancient DNA and isotopic data. She co-authored a study that examined the remains found in a mass grave in Gomolava, Serbia, shedding light on the nature of the violence that occurred 2,800 years ago. Her research indicated that the victims were not closely related, challenging previous assumptions about social structures in ancient populations and providing insights into the demographic aspects of violence in prehistoric Europe.
