From 2001 to 2006, Daniel Berger studied archaeometry at the Technical University Bergakademie Freiberg\/Saxony, where he received his diploma in 2006. This was followed by a doctorate at the Eberhard Karls University in T\u00fcbingen, which he completed in 2011. Since 2013, Daniel Berger has been working at CEZA as a research associate and is the contact person for the field of archaeometallurgy. He is involved in the conception and management of various projects, he is responsible for sample management in the laboratory for material analyses and he is a member of the Executive Board for Science at CEZA gGmbH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
