Dr. Lenny Salvagno is a University Teacher in Zooarchaeology at the School of Biosciences, University of Sheffield. He holds a PhD from the University of Sheffield (2017) and a prior degree from the University of Parma (2007). His academic affiliation spans institutions such as the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (2020–present) and the University of Sheffield (2011–present).
- Education:
- PhD in Archaeology, University of Sheffield (2017)
- BA in Archaeology, University of Parma (2007)
Research Interests: Salvagno specializes in animal domestication and husbandry intensification, with a focus on medieval Britain and prehistoric Italy. His work integrates geometric morphometrics and statistical analysis to resolve identification challenges in faunal remains, particularly sheep/goat and pig studies. He investigates ritual deposits, settlement continuity from the Neolithic to Modern era, and socio-economic transformations through faunal assemblages.
Publication Trends: Salvagno’s research bridges methodological innovation (e.g., biometric systems for sheep/goat differentiation, tooth wear rate quantification) with socio-historical interpretation (pig husbandry during medieval-early modern transitions, goat rarity in England). His work often involves comparative studies across species (sheep, goat, cattle, pig) and periods (Neolithic to Post-Medieval), emphasizing regional contexts like Northern Italy and England.
Scientific Awards:
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (2020)
- Gerda Henkel Stiftung Post-doc Grant (2017)
- AHRC PhD Grant (2012)
- University Research and Innovation Grant (2011)
Teaching and Collaboration: Salvagno actively teaches zooarchaeology to undergraduates and masters students and contributes to short courses like 'Understanding Zooarchaeology I'. He collaborates with institutions such as the University of Sheffield, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, focusing on grants and multi-methodological research projects.
