Roebroeks has conducted fieldwork in the Netherlands, in England , France, northeastern Russia and Germany . He is the Vice-President of the European Society for the Study of Human Evolution (ESHE).
Rolland, Joëlle (Dr.)
Joëlle Rolland studied Protohistory at the University Paris 1-Panthéon Sorbonne, where she completed her PhD in 2017. Her research focuses on La Tène societies through the anthropological, technical and archaeometric studies of their glass production. Her methodological approach is largely based on experimental archaeology: with glassmakers, they reconstruct together the knowledge of La Tène craftspeople. By combining archaeometric and archaeological methods with technical experiments, she reconstructs the production process of beads and bracelets manufacturing from the fabrication of raw glass to transformation into ornaments.
