Welcome
Hi there! I am Dr Shyama Vermeersch and I am a zooarchaeologist. I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford. This platform serves as the central hub to explore more about my academic journey, research, and outreach activities. Get the latest here!
My interests lie in understanding how past farming practices shaped and were influenced by urban developments, empires, and social disparities. Through my research, I want to contribute insights to address contemporary challenges like climate change, sustainability, and biodiversity.
Join me in my journey, as we bridge the gap between the past and present to find solutions for a better future. Let’s explore cutting-edge scientific methods in archaeology and their potential to create a positive impact on our world today. I look forward to engaging with you throughout my projects!
