Keynote speakers
Dr. Lisette Kootker
Lisette Kootker is an assistant professor at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, department of Earth Sciences, Faculty of Science. She completed a MSc in Geoarchaeology at the VU and holds a PGDip. in Osteoarchaeology (Bournemouth University, UK). Her prize-winning PhD work focused on the implementation of Sr isotope geochemistry in Dutch archaeological research. Subsequently, during her postdoctoral tenure, she directed her focus towards utilizing radiogenic and stable isotope systems (Sr-Pb-O-H-C-H) in both archaeological and forensic contexts, with the aim of elucidating dietary and mobility patterns. Her research pursuits extend to the isotopic characterization of natural archaeological and modern landscapes (isoscapes), alongside investigating the impact of diagenesis on tissue isotopic integrity within forensic settings. Actively engaged in actualistic taphonomic experiments, she collaborates with the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF) in Texas, USA, as well as ARISTA in Amsterdam. Her isotope research aids in the identification process of unidentified victims in cold-case and recent forensic investigations, collaborating closely with the Netherlands Forensic Institute and various international law enforcement agencies.
