Zineb Moubtahij

I am an archaeologist specializing in the dietary evolution of human populations from the Later Stone Age to the Neolithic in Northwest Africa. My doctoral research focused on applying both traditional and innovative isotopic techniques to investigate past diets, with particular emphasis on zinc stable isotopes in tooth enamel and carbon and nitrogen isotopes in amino acids. This approach addresses key questions about dietary transitions during pivotal moments in human evolution, including the shift from hunting and gathering to early food production in Morocco.
