个人简介

Ceiridwen received her B.Sc. (Hons.) in Genetics from the University of York in 1996, and an M.Sc. in Biomolecular Archaeology from the University of Sheffield in 1998. Her Ph.D., completed in 2002 at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, involved the study of genetic variation in domesticated cattle and wild aurochsen using ancient and modern DNA analyses. Between 1999 and 2008, she was solely responsible for the Bioarchaeology Laboratory at Trinity College Dublin. She was a Researcher in Ancient DNA Studies at the Research Laboratory for Archaeology, University of Oxford, for six years (2009–2015), during which time she successfully applied for funding to set up an ancient DNA lab. She was appointed by the University of Huddersfield as a Senior Research Fellow in Archaeogenetics in June 2015.

研究领域

Ceiridwen’s research focus is the study of mammalian population genetics and phylogeography using the retrieval of DNA sequences from archaeological specimens. Ancient DNA can add an innovative temporal dimension to analyses, and she has worked in the field for over 20 years. She has studied mitochondrial DNA of multiple archaeological samples, from contexts dating to between 40,000 and 500 years, and from many species, including giant Irish deer, domestic horse, wild boar, domestic pig, brown bear, and red deer. However, the majority of her work has concerned cattle biogeography, including a large-scale Y-chromosome study of extant European cattle breeds. Examining Viking Dublin cattle bones, she published one of the first population-based studies using ancient nuclear DNA and has analysed 100+ ancient domestic cattle and 50+ extinct aurochs bones. She has first-authored several seminal papers using ancient DNA to analyse questions of cattle domestication, with her 2007 aurochs paper (Edwards et al. Proc. R. Soc. B 274:1377) being cited over 100 times. Other research has involved sequencing the entire mitochondrial genome from a 6,800-year-old aurochs, and the whole nuclear genome of this specimen will be published in 2015. More recently, she attracted funding from the Leverhulme Trust to study the Romano-British to Anglo-Saxon transition using ancient DNA of contemporaneous populations. Work associated with this project is still on-going.
