Alexandria Marie Firenzi is a doctoral researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR; Reno, Nevada, USA). Her work focuses on reconstructing past sea-surface temperature and salinity variability along the northeastern Pacific coast of North America, with particular attention to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and coastal current dynamics within the Southern California Bight. She visited our lab and is keen to share some data!
Our new paper provides high-resolution data into the seasonality of prehistoric shellfish exploitation at the Haua Fteah (northern Cyrenaica, Libya). The research applies laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to analyse Mg/Ca ratios in Patella caerulea Linnaeus 1758 shells recovered from the Haua Fteah by past human populations.
