Multielemental analysis will be carried out on slag and other component parts of furnaces. They will be compared with certain iron objects from well-dated closed archaeological assemblages from the settlement. The results of analysis of the iron objects will be compared to the results of the soil analysis (iron ore) in order to establish if the objects were made from iron processed in the nearby smelting workshop. Field, laboratory, and office work.

Time dedicated to the project: 20% working time.

Curriculum vitae

Sibila Borojević Šoštarić was born on the 27th of January 1975 in Zagreb, Croatia. She obtained her PhD in Geosciences, Geology and Mineralogy in 2009. From 1999 – 2010 she was employed at the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, as teaching assistant and from 2010 she has been working at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb, as an assistant professor. Her working career started as an MSc student (1999-2004), PhD student (1999-2009), Research Associate (2009-2013) and she is now a Senior Research Associate since 2013. As a MSc and PhD student, she attended several short-term training programs at the Universities of Salzburg, Budapest, and Bratislava, working on isotopic and geochemical analyses of minerals and rocks. S. Borojević Šoštarić has long-term experience in mineralogy and geochemistry, stable and radiogenic isotope analysis, hydrothermal circulation, diagenetic to burial processes, mineral pressure-temperature-composition formation conditions, correlation on a regional scale and collaboration with international research groups. To date, S. Borojević Šoštarić has published: 17 original scientific papers published in journals indexed by Current Contents, WoS, SCI, Scopus; 1 editorial book, and 3 book chapters. She has participated with 37 presentations at the national and international scientific meetings. Number of times cited without self-citation (August 2014) according to WoS: 21, and Scopus: 37; h-index according to WoS and Scopus: 3.
