Dr. Alžběta Danielisová | Humanities and Science Integration | Excellence in Research Award

Institute of Archaeology of the CAS, Prague | Czech Republic

Dr. Alžběta Danielisová is a distinguished archaeological scientist whose research integrates geochemistry, biochemistry, and material science to advance the understanding of past human societies across Europe and Southern Arabia. Her work focuses on the systematic interpretation of biochemical and geochemical datasets, combining humanities-driven archaeological inquiry with innovative scientific methodologies. She specializes in multi-isotopic, proteomic, and provenance analyses applied to metallic artefacts particularly copper alloys as well as biological materials, including human and animal remains, enabling high-resolution reconstructions of ancient mobility, dietary habits, technological practices, and socio-economic organization. Dr. Alžběta Danielisová has an extensive publication record, with 35 Scopus-indexed articles, 514 citations from 452 citing documents, and an h-index of 11, reflecting her significant impact in the field of archaeological science. Her research has produced major insights into Iron Age transformations in Central Europe, early Medieval cosmopolitanism in Finland, Neolithic occupation in Oman, and environmental adaptation in marginal landscapes. In collaboration with the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, she has pioneered nitrogen isotope analysis of human enamel, providing novel perspectives on dietary resilience and life-history trajectories. Her completed and ongoing projects expand archaeological science through the integration of isotopic systems, advanced geochemical modelling, and spatial data analysis, contributing to an understanding of risk management, resource strategies, and long-term cultural resilience. Recognized internationally for her interdisciplinary innovation, methodological advancements, and collaborative research, Danielisová continues to shape the field by producing evidence-based reconstructions of ancient lifeways, offering both historical insight and frameworks that inform contemporary studies of sustainability, adaptation, and socio-environmental dynamics.
