Anna Karligkioti is a Ph.D. candidate in Bioarchaeology at Science & Technology in Archaeology Research Center (STARC), the Cyprus Institute. In her research, she examines the interplay of social disparities and health inequality in ancient mainland Greece through the study of human skeletal remains by applying a biocultural approach. Her PhD aims to explore social divisions diachronically, as these are expressed through differentiations in health, diet, (physiological and mechanical) stress and activity patterns among and within cemeteries in Attica and Thebes. Additionally, she employs biodistances to reconstruct past mobility and kinship patterns spatially and temporally. People experience life in a variety of ways. Thus, with her research Anna aims to shed light on a rather oversimplified and often misleading image we have regarding the people of the Greco-Roman world and give voice to the silenced people of Classical antiquity such as women, children and people from lower social strata.
