Kate de Luna
Georgetown University, USA
Kate de Luna is an historian cross-trained in archaeology and historical linguistics. She leads and collaborates with several interdisciplinary teams that produce archives (archaeological, paleoclimatological, linguistic, paleogenomic) to study human-environment-climate interactions in Africa during the Holocene.
Sarah Metcalfe
