Eleni Palamara, University of Peloponnese
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eleni Palamara studied Mechanical Engineering in the National Technical University of Athens (Greece) and holds an MSc degree in Archaeological Sciences from the University of Oxford (UK). She carried out her PhD and Post-doc research on the archaeometric analysis of archaeological glasses and glazes in the University of the Peloponnese (Kalamata, Greece). Since 2015 she is a lab tutor for the MSc in Cultural Heritage Materials and Technologies – CultTech of the University of the Peloponnese and between 2018-2020 she taught in the department of History, Archaeology and Cultural Resources Management of the University of the Peloponnese. She is currently a research technician within the ARISTEAS project (Advancing Research Infrastructure & Scientific Techniques in Archaeological Science), which is co-funded by national and EU resources and is implemented within the context of the NSRF operational programme “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014-2020 (EPAnEk)” of the ministry of Development and Investment of the Hellenic Republic. She is also a member of the Art e-Solutions company, which focuses on the application of advances electron microscopy techniques in Cultural Heritage. Her main research focus lies on the physicochemical properties of archaeological materials (glasses, glazes, pottery, pigments). She is experienced in the use of Electron Microscopy techniques (SEM/EDS, SEM/CL), spectroscopic techniques (Raman, IR) and X-Ray Fluorescence analysis. She is the author/co-author of 16 papers published in peer-reviewed journals and co-editor of 3 edited books. She has also reviewed manuscripts for archaeometric journals, such as the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports and the Journal of Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences.

Walter Prochaska, ÖAI/ÖAW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walter Prochaska is an internationally leading expert in the field of marble research. He is authoritatively involved in the further development of methods of determining the provenance of especially white marbles. He has been able to set new standards for the combined interpretation of isotope analysis, trace element analysis, and the analysis of the chemistry of the inclusion fluids. He is currently involved in the FWF 33042 project 'Fingerprinting White Marbles; Quarries and Cities of Roman Thrace, 1st-3rd century AD', at the Austrian Archaeological Institute in Vienna.

Katrin Westner, ENS Lyon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Katrin Westner studied mineralogy at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and, starting with her PhD, participated in several archaeometallurgical research projects. She currently is a postdoc at the ENS de Lyon where she mainly investigates ores and coins from Macedonia, Thrace and Illyria in the framework of the ERC project SILVER (PI Francis Albarede). For her research, Katrin regularly uses various analytical techniques, including ICP-MS for compositional and isotopic measurements.
