Maxime Rageot

Prof. Maxime Rageot is a Professor at the University of Bonn, affiliated with the Department of Archaeology and Cultural Anthropology. His research focuses on biomolecular archaeology, particularly analyzing organic residues from ancient Mediterranean and European societies to understand diet, body care practices, and trade networks. He contributes to the Transdisciplinary Research Area (TRA) 'Life and Health'.

Research interests include biomolecular analysis of lipids, plant and animal-derived products, and their implications for subsistence strategies, technical knowledge, and cultural practices. His work bridges archaeology, chemistry, and anthropology to explore ancient lifestyles through material evidence.

Selected publications highlight advancements in understanding Egyptian embalming techniques, Celtic consumption practices, and biomolecular methods for identifying ancient wine production. These studies employ cutting-edge analytical techniques to interpret organic residues from archaeological artifacts.
