Amandine Flammang
After completing a Master’s degree in Archaeology with a specialization in Pre-Columbian Art and Archaeology at the Université libre de Bruxelles, and a Master’s degree in Bioarchaeological and Forensic Anthropology at University College London, Amandine returned to ULB to pursue a PhD in Pre-Columbian Archaeology, which she began in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Peter Eeckhout, Dr. Caroline Polet, and Dr. Kevin Lane (University of Buenos Aires).
Her research focuses on Andean funerary practices of the recent periods, and her dissertation examines funerary contexts in the upper Nepeña basin in the Ancash region (Peru), as well as the individuals buried within them. She combines her two areas of training to better understand the populations who built and occupied these burial sites.
Through the Proyecto Arqueológico Regional Ancash – Mallqui (PARAMa), which she co-directs, she excavated and studied three of these contexts in 2022 and 2023.
