Glauke Wylin studied archeology at the University of Ghent. During her Bachelor's degree, Glauke mainly focused on Greek archaeology and took a minor in Classical language and culture. She also developed an interest in funerary archaeology and osteology. In 2024 she received her MA diploma in archaeology, with a focus in Mediterranean Archaeology and osteology. For her MA thesis "Transitions of Physical behaviour written into bones. Analysing activity and mobility patterns through long bone cross-sections in the transition from the Later Stone Age to the Neolithic in Northwest Africa", Glauke was trained in biomechanical analyses.
During her studies Glauke participated in several excavations including the Medieval cemetery of the church of Our Lady in Bruges (Belgium), a Roman bath building in Aquinum (Italy), a Geometric house in Thorikos (Greece) an the Agora in Athens (Greece). After the completion of her studies, she was also assistant-supervisor at the Agora excavations in Athens (Greece). Next to fieldwork, Glauke was also trained in laboratory work and skeletal analyses at the ArcheOs lab of the UGent and during an Erasmus + internship at the Malcolm H. Wiener Laboratory in Athens.
In August 2024 Glauke started as Ph.D. student and assistant at UGent. In her Ph.D. research, she combines isotopic analyses, biomechanics and osteology to study social inequality in populations from Athens, Lavrio and San Giorgi island. This project is supervised by Prof. Dr Isabelle De Groote and Prof. Dr. Roald Docter. As an assistand in Medierranean Archaeology and Physical Anthropology Glauke also assists with the teaching of BA and MA courses in osteology, Greek archaeology and academic writing.
