- Research
- Co-curator of the international osteological collection
- Hallstatt skeletal collection
- scientist in the ERC Synergy Grant HistoGenes Projekt (OEAW), Department of Anthropology, Natural History Museum Vienna (https://www.histogenes.org/)

Current project:
HistoGenes
https://www.histogenes.org/; https://www.youtube.com/
Within the HistoGenes project, my focus is on
osteological scoring as well as on bioarchaeological and paleopathological analyses and interpretation of the skeletal series
curated at the NHMW. I am particularly interested in pelvic features, biomechanical analyses and enthesopathies, and also
paleopathology. Supplementary to the macroscopic systematic recording of the skeletons, methods like radiography, secondary
electron microscopy, endoscopy and micro-Ct complement the bioarcheological assessment. The overall findings of the observed
changes and injuries on the skeletons will provide a differentiated insight into individual and community living conditions
of past people.
Last project:
“The value of mothers to society: responses to motherhood and child rearing
practices in prehistoric Europe” (PI Dr. Katharina Rebay Salisbury) http://www.orea.oeaw.ac.at/mutterschaft.html
Focus of research:
- Pelvic features possibly relating to pregnancies and birth events
- Analysis of skeletons and cremations from the Iron Age Hallstatt cemetery
- Signs of stress and strain on the skeleton
- Experimental cremations

Pany D.E. 2003. “Mining for the miners? An analysis of occupationally - induced stress markers on the skeletal remains from the ancient Hallstatt cemetery.” Diplomarbeit, Universität Wien.
My focus of interest is on skeletal modifications caused by activities and physical stress.
A specific focus in the HistoGenes project are findings on signs of activity or injuries at the skeleton, e.g., resulting from accidents, but also from violent (warlike) confrontations.
The VAMOS project was specifically concerned with the search for changes in the pelvis that could have resulted from pregnancies and births. These investigations are primarily carried out on pelvises from Bronze and Iron Age series of the Anthropological Department. The aim of the project is to find out whether there was a connection between motherhood and a possibly resulting change in the social position of women in prehistoric societies.
