Karen Ruebens obtained her PhD from the University of Southampton (UK) in 2013 and has since been working as a postdoctoral researcher, first at the MONREPOS Archaeological Research Center for Human Behavioral Evolution (Neuwied) and then at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology ( MPI-EVA, Leipzig). Her research interests focus on elucidating the behavior of Neanderthals through larger-scale comparative lithic and faunal analyses, including more recently zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS). At the Collège de France, Karen will be carrying out ZooMS analysis of faunal assemblages from major Middle and Upper Palaeolithic sites. Her current ZooMS projects include Salzgitter-Lebenstedt (Mousterian), Ranis (Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician), Cassenade and Saint-Césaire (Châtelperronian).

Her research interests are focused on unravelling Neanderthal behaviour through wider-scale comparative lithic and faunal analyses, most recently including Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS). At theCollègede France Karen will be conducting ZooMS analysis of faunal assemblages from key late Middle and early Upper Palaeolithic sites. Her ongoing ZooMS projects include Salzgitter-Lebenstedt (Mousterian), Ranis (Lincombian-Ranisian-Jerzmanowician), Cassenade and Saint-Césaire (Châtelperronian).
