Magdalena Fraser

Magdalena Fraser is a Researcher at Uppsala University's Department of Organismal Biology; Human Evolution. Her work focuses on archaeogenetics and ancient DNA analysis, particularly in understanding Neolithic and Bronze Age societies. She has contributed to studies on population genomics, human mobility, and cultural practices through interdisciplinary approaches combining genetics with archaeology.

Research Interests: Ms. Fraser's research explores topics such as genetic kinship in megalithic societies, population structure in prehistoric cultures like the Funnel Beaker, and ancient DNA preservation in bone and environmental samples. Her studies often integrate genomic data with archaeological evidence to uncover migration patterns, social organization, and ecological interactions.

Articles Overview: Her publications analyze Neolithic European kinship networks, population dynamics on Gotland, and the genetic basis of cultural practices. Recent work includes investigations into ancient hedgehog DNA and the application of genetic methods to honey and insect remains.
