Sabine Klein, Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sabine Klein studied mineralogy with a focus on economic geology, petrology and geochemistry. This was followed by a doctorate on early mediaeval bronze metal slags from the Höxter/Corvey area at the Goethe University in Frankfurt. A research grant from the Volkswagen Foundation enabled a one-year stay at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD, and a second year at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MD, USA. Back in Germany as a postdoctoral fellow in the Frankfurt Research School "Archaeological Analytics", her research preference for archaeometry solidified, and she finally habilitated in 2008 with a numismatic-oriented archaeometallurgical thesis on "The Copper of the Roman Imperial Period and its Raw Material Sources". With the award of the Venia Legendi for Mineralogy and Archaeometry, she was granted the authorization to teach at Goethe University. Since 2016, she has been head of the research area of archaeometallurgy at the German Mining Museum Bochum and professor at RUB. Her research interests are in the field of archaeometallurgy, inorganic archaeometry, applied geochemistry, and isotope applications.

Artemios Oikonomou, Cyprus Institute
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Artemios Oikonomou studied Physics and then specialized in Materials Science and Engineering as well as Fine Arts and Sciences, conducting the first systematic study of archaic glass from Greece. His professional experience includes a Marie Curie Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of Nottingham, a Geoarchaeology Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and since 2018, a post-doctoral fellowship at Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Center (STARC) of The Cyprus Institute. Artemios’ research focuses on the application of state of the art scientific techniques on the study of ancient materials and especially glass as a mean for: a. the identification of ancient technological aspects, b. answering archaeological questions in relation to the reconstruction of ancient technologies, c. changing technological practices through space and time, d. the provenance of ancient materials, and e. the fusion of scientific results with aspects of the humanities. As an archaeological scientist, he is involved in various interdisciplinary archaeological projects, both as primary researcher and research associate, in the broad field of Archaeological Science. He has authored and co-authored research papers in edited volumes, peer reviewed scientific journals and conference proceedings, while he has participated in international conferences since 2006 with oral and poster presentations. Furthermore, he is a member of the Editorial Board of Heritage Journal and Guest Editor at the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, while he has acted as a reviewer in many International Scientific Journals. Finally, he is a member of national and international professional organisations such as the Hellenic Society of Archaeometry (elected member), the Society of Archaeological Sciences (SAS), the American Ceramic Society (ACerS) the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the Association Internationale pour l’ Histoire du Verre (AIHV).
