Sarah Lo Russo

After graduating in Classical Studies with a focus on provincial Roman archaeology and archaeological science at the University of Basel, Sarah Lo Russo worked on a number of research projects in the Geoarchaeology Research Group at IPAS (University of Basel). She also led an interdisciplinary research and rescue excavation for the Kantonsarchäologie in St. Gallen (2015-2016), during which various Roman features, including a mithraeum, were discovered. The archaeological and micromorphological assessment of this mithraeum was the subject of her Master's thesis in geoarchaeology at IPAS. In 2019, Sarah was employed as a geoarchaeologist at the Universities of Bern and Basel and conducted research on various Iron Age and Roman period sites in Switzerland. For her PhD dissertation she will use micromorphology - her favourite methodology - to explore new time periods and contexts.
