Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Laura Matas-Lalueza"
- Laura Matas-Lalueza's research focuses on the genetic analysis of ancient populations to understand historical migrations and their demographic impacts, particularly during the early medieval period and the Chalcolithic era in Europe.
- In her study of early medieval populations in Piedmont, Matas-Lalueza analyzed genetic material from Lombard burial sites to investigate the migration patterns and gene flow during the period of the Barbarian invasions, revealing significant insights on demographic changes.
- Additionally, her work on mitochondrial DNA from El Mirador cave in Spain identified genetic diversity in Chalcolithic populations, challenging previously established narratives about the spread of specific cultural lineages, thus contributing to a more nuanced understanding of ancient Iberian genetic composition.
