Dr. Jess Beck (PhD, University of Michigan, 2016) is an anthropological archaeologist and bioarchaeologist who studies human skeletal remains from archaeological sties in order to learn about social inequality in prehistory. Dr. Beck uses techniques like stable isotope analysis, radiocarbon dating, and mortuary archaeology to investigate relationships between health, diet, mobility, and social inequality in the past. She examines early complex societies in Late Prehistoric Europe, particularly the Copper Age and Early Bronze Age in Spain and Romania. She most recently spent the 2016-2017 academic year as a visiting scholar at the University of Pittsburgh in the Center for Comparative Archaeology. Her work at the Center for Comparative Archaeology focused on identifying quantitative signatures of different mortuary treatments, and analyzing the rise of large-scale villages in Copper Age Iberia through a bioarchaeological lens.
