Daniela Maria Frias Cabral is currently an Archaeologist and Forensic Anthropologist at the Municipality of Vila Franca do Campo. She is also an active member of the Centre for Functional Ecology—Science for People & the Planet at the University of Coimbra, where she collaborates with the Forensic Anthropology and Paleobiology Research Group. Daniela holds a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Heritage and Archaeology, a master’s degree in Archaeology with a specialization in Zooarchaeology from the University of Algarve, and a second master’s degree in Forensic Anthropology with a focus on Taphonomy from the University of Coimbra. Daniela’s research integrates the fields of archaeology and forensic anthropology, with a particular focus on taphonomic processes, osteological and zooarchaeological methodologies, and the reconstruction of human and animal diets. She has participated in some archaeological excavations covering diverse periods — from Prehistory to the Modern Era — and contributed to significant projects. These include improving and analyzing materials such as the 21st Century Identified Skeletal Collection and studying faunal remains from archaeological sites. Notably, during her involvement in the TRANSCULTURAL project, funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, she focused her research on the diets of medieval Portuguese populations (10th–14th centuries). Beyond her research, Daniela has actively engaged in various volunteer initiatives, including osteological and faunal analyses and archaeological excavations. She has presented her findings in academic settings and contributed to outreach programs aimed at disseminating knowledge about archaeology and forensic anthropology. Dedicated to advancing the field, she continues to expand her research portfolio while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
