Ana Herrero Corral

Ana Herrero Corral is a prehistoric archaeologist and physical anthropologist whose research focuses on the study of infant burials to understand the social role of children in the processes of social hierarchization that took place across Europe during the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC. She earned her PhD from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) in 2019, where she examined infant burials from the Copper and Bronze Age in the interior of Iberia. She is currently a tenure-track Lecturer in the Department of Prehistory at the University of Valladolid (Spain) and leads the Marie Curie project "SKIN: Social Kinship and Cooperative Care," which investigates biological and non-biological kinship relationships between children and adults buried together in multiple burials from recent prehistoric Iberia.
