Sabina Cveček is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow, based at the Field Museum in Chicago and the Austrian Archaeological Institute, Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna. Sabina is a socio-cultural anthropologist specializing in the interpretation of non-state social organization in eastern Mediterranean prehistory through interdisciplinary perspectives. Her MSCA project entitled »X-KIN: Exploring patterns of prehistoric kinship from socio-cultural anthropological perspectives« addresses questions of i) how can the material structures such as settlements, buildings, artifacts, and biological markers be read as ‘material codes’ of prehistoric kinship and ii) how can ethnographic reports exemplify rather than verify variability in kinship during prehistory.
In addition to her PhD in socio-cultural anthropology from the University of Vienna (2021), Austria, Sabina also holds an MA in socio-cultural anthropology from the University of Vienna, and a BA in Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Sabina has worked alongside prehistoric archaeologists in the field (Greece, Turkey) since 2016. After joining the Prehistoric Phenomena research group at the Austrian Archaeological Institute in 2021, she published her PhD results in a book entitled “Çukuriçi Höyük 4: Household Economics in the Early Bronze Age Aegean” (Austrian Academy of Sciences Press, 2022).
Her PhD thesis was awarded with the sowi:doc Award 2021 from the University of Vienna. Sabina also received the City of Vienna 2023 Promotion Award in the category of Humanities, Social Sciences, Cultural Studies and Law. Sabina was also an ATHENS fellow at the Austrian Archaeological Institute in Athens (2021), an IFK_Junior Fellow at Internationales Forschungszentrum Kulturwissenschaften (International Research Center for Cultural Studies) in Vienna, Austria (2020/2021), and a visiting researcher at The International Max Planck Research School for the Anthropology, Archaeology, and History of Eurasia at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale (2019).
