Martina Pacher

Martina Pacher is a Guest Researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences' Department of Archaeological Sciences, specifically within the Bioarchaeology Lab. Her current project focuses on the complete documentation and analysis of archaeozoological finds from Flavia Solva, an ancient Roman town in present-day Austria. She is affiliated with the Archaeological Sciences division and contributes to interdisciplinary research at the intersection of zoological analysis and historical reconstruction.

Her work integrates bioarchaeological methodologies to study human-animal relationships in antiquity, with a particular emphasis on dietary practices and subsistence strategies. The Flavia Solva project represents a key initiative in understanding regional cultural dynamics through faunal remains analysis.

Based at the Dominikanerbastei 16 headquarters in Vienna, Pacher engages in collaborative research projects and maintains active participation in the Academy's archaeological networks. While no specific awards or grants are listed, her contributions align with ongoing excavations and documentation efforts highlighted in the Institute's public projects.
