His publications cover a wide temporal span as well as a broad range of themes but are characterized by an integrative approach in their reconstructions of past lives. This is exemplified by recent papers dealing with the political use of the ritualized violence of public executions and the role of the quotidian use of material culture in the construction of identity in Viking Age Dublin. O’Donnabhain has directed and collaborated archaeological projects in a number of world areas. Since 2012, he has been conducting excavations at the nineteenth century prison at Spike Island in Ireland. He is coauthor of the 2016 volume Too Beautiful for Thieves and Pickpockets: A History of the Victorian Convict Prison on Spike Island. He is cur- rently on the faculty of the Department of Archaeology at University College Cork and is on the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles-based Institute for Field Research. María Cecilia Lozada is a Peruvian bioarchaeologist who has been conducting archaeological research in the South Central Andes for the last 20 years, and holds a Ph.D. degree in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. She uses a multi- disciplinary approach to study the past, combining archaeology, human osteology, and ethnohistory, which is exemplified in her book El Señorío de Chiribaya en la Costa Sur del Perú (2002) and multiple publications that showcase her integrated social and biological reconstructions of past Andean societies. In 2013, she co- edited the volume The Dead Tell Tales that was published by the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology Press at UCLA. Along with Vera Tiesler, she is co-editor of the book Social Skins of the Head. Body Beliefs and Ritual in Ancient Mesoamerica and the Andes, University of New Mexico Press (2018). For the past 11 years, Lozada has been the main field archaeologist and human osteologist for several multidisci- plinary and collaborative projects in northern Chile co-sponsored by the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology at UCLA and La Universidad de Chile. In 2009, she xi
