Júlia Olivé-Busom

Júlia Olivé-Busom completed her PhD in Bioarchaeology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona in May 2023. Her research scope includes the funerary archaeology and bioarchaeology of Christian and Islamic communities during the Al-Andalus and Mudéjar periods, particularly in northeastern Iberia. She has published extensively on funerary practices, paleopathology, and isotopic dietary patterns. Currently, she is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Bonn, which has allowed her to broaden her research horizons by conducting innovative bioarchaeological studies in various cemetery areas of the Mongolian Plateau and expanding her focus on Islamic funerary archaeology to Medieval Central Asia.
