Dr. Mazzucato is an archaeologist and anthropologist specializing in the archaeology of prehistoric and protohistoric Southwest Asia. Her research focuses on archaeological network analysis, relational approaches to archaeology, kinship studies, and multispecies archaeology. She has extensive experience as a GIS Specialist for major archaeological projects including AERA and the Çatalhöyük Research Project. Her recent work has examined human-bird interactions in the Levant during the Late Pleistocene to Early Holocene and has explored socio-material networks at Çatalhöyük. She recently completed a Postdoctoral Researcher position for the DFF Founded Project "Birds as a key line of evidence for human vulnerability and resilience to environmental shifts in a pre-agricultural context."
Her research demonstrates a strong integration of network science, GIS technology, and traditional archaeological approaches to understand Neolithic societies, particularly at Çatalhöyük. Recent publications show increasing focus on human-animal relationships, environmental shifts in pre-agricultural contexts, and the application of advanced spatial analysis techniques to archaeological data.
Dr. Mazzucato has published 23 research outputs including 16 journal articles and 7 book chapters, with recent publications appearing in high-impact journals such as Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory, Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
