Vivian Scheinsohn
Vivian Scheinsohn, an Argentinian archaeologist, holds the position of Full Professor in the Department of Anthropological Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires. Alongside her teaching, she actively engages in research at both the National Institute of Anthropology and Latin American Thought and the National Scientific and Technical Research Council. Outside of the realm of academics, Scheinsohn serves as the principal officer of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to applying forensic sciences, particularly forensic anthropology, genetics, and archaeology, in order to help in the investigation of human rights violations, not only within Argentina but also on a global scale. After completing her PhD, which focused on archaeological artifacts, specifically bone tools from Tierra del Fuego, Vivian continued conducting research in the region of Patagonia, where she began her career. Over the span of a decade, she dedicated her time to investigating the steppe and forested ecosystems of Central Western Argentine Patagonia. As of September 2023, Scheinsohn continues her work as an archaeologist, leading a research project aiming to uncover the history of human habitation in the region, spanning from ancient hunter-gatherers to Europeans and Criollos in the 19th century.
