معرفی
Annette Oertle, PhD, is a researcher in the Faculty of Life Sciences, Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, specializing in biomolecular approaches to archaeological questions. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental protection and cultural heritage.
Her research focuses on the intersection of evolutionary anthropology and biomolecular science, with particular expertise in:
- Analysis of extinct megafauna through collagen peptide markers
- Human-environment interactions during Pleistocene-Holocene transitions
- Biomolecular archaeology techniques including ZooMS and stable isotope analysis
- Human migration patterns and subsistence strategies in Pacific regions
Dr. Oertle's publication record shows consistent output since 2022, with increasing productivity through 2025. Her work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between archaeology, paleontology, and biomolecular science, with particular emphasis on Pacific Islander contexts and Australian megafauna extinction events.
She received the DENI-CESTOR Fellowship in September 2022, recognizing her contributions to human evolution research with applications of stable isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating.
Dr. Oertle actively disseminates her research through conference presentations, including recent talks on biomolecular archaeology in the Pacific and subsistence strategies in the New Guinea Highlands. Her research has garnered significant attention, with mentions in news outlets, social media platforms, and academic networks.
