معرفی
Hannes Rathmann is a postdoctoral researcher and curator of the Osteological Collection at the Senckenberg Centre for Human Evolution and Palaeoenvironment, affiliated with the University of Tübingen. His roles span research, teaching coordination, and curation of skeletal collections, reflecting his interdisciplinary expertise in bioarchaeology and paleoanthropology.
- Education:
- B.A. in Pre- and Protohistory and Medieval Archaeology (magna cum laude, University of Tübingen, 2008-2011)
- M.Sc. in Archaeological Sciences / Paleoanthropology (magna cum laude, University of Tübingen, 2011-2013)
- Ph.D. in Archaeological Sciences / Paleoanthropology (magna cum laude, University of Tübingen, 2014-2018)
Rathmann’s research focuses on bioarchaeology, population genetics, and osteological collections, integrating bioinformatics and quantitative methods to study human population dynamics, dental morphology, and cultural practices. His work often addresses provenance research and repatriation of human remains.
Hannovering the 2025 Prize for best short talk at the Human Evolution conference and receiving the 2024 Innovation in Dental Anthropology Award highlight his recognition in the field. His doctoral fellowship from the Gerda Henkel Foundation and research grants from the German Lost Art Foundation and University of Tübingen underscore his sustained funding and collaborative projects.
Rathmann’s publications reveal a strong trend in applying statistical and computational methods to dental and cranial phenotypes, with subfields spanning Upper Paleolithic Europe, Celtic burials, Greek colonization, and methodological advancements in analyzing skeletal remains and lithic artifacts.
As a mentor, Rathmann guided Kim Hofmann, who won the Rudolf Virchow Prize for her thesis. His work also involves the University of Tübingen’s Osteological Collection and contributions to the DeMoDa project at CENIEH.
