Mélie Le Roy Editor

Eileen Murphy is a Senior Lecturer in Archaeology in the School of Natural and Built Environments, Queen’s University Belfast. Her research focuses particularly on human skeletal populations recovered from prehistoric Russia and from all periods in Ireland. She is particularly interested in the use of osteoarchaeological information to help further our understanding of the daily lives and experiences of the people who lived in the past, as well as mortuary practices. Dr Mélie Le Roy currently teaches archaeology (ATER) at Montpellier University. She completed her doctorate in biological anthropology at Bordeaux University. Her research concerned the study of the skeletal remains of children and the social consideration of this part of the population through funerary practices, based on the use in GIS in the analysis of funerary settlements.
