We are delighted to welcome Rebeca Custódio as the newest Student Ambassador! This program is designed to engage students in professional development and outreach. Rebeca is currently pursuing a Master’s in Archaeology at the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo (MAE-USP), focusing on the funerary practices of the fisher-gatherer groups who occupied the Brazilian coast. She is particularly interested in the thermal alterations to human bones resulting from cremation rituals, integrating macroscopic and physicochemical analyses of burned remains to improve our understanding of funerary practices and the taphonomic pathways of thermally altered bones. Rebeca’s work with SAS will be focused on breaching a gap in collaborations between the Global South and other nations in Archaeological Sciences. Although her research focus is Bioarchaeology, she plans to organize events dedicated to making connections within the archaeological community. Welcome, Rebeca!
