Mineralogy and petrography, archaeometry

My main research interests are in archaeometry; in particular, on questions concerning ancient ceramics, with focus on the periods from the Iron Age to the Early Medieval Period, such as f.ex. Roman Wine Amphorae. Studies: mineralogy & petrography - Univ. of Fribourg (diploma 1985, Ph.D. 1990). Post-doc research: Lab. de céra-mologie, CNRS, Lyon; Depart. of Geosciences, Univ. of Fribourg ; collaboration on international research projects. Teaching: Univer. of Fribourg (archaeometry since 2002, crystal optics & micros-copy 2003/2004). I also work on analytical projects on ceramic finds at the Office de la Culture du Canton du Jura/section archéologique.
