Duygu Ertemin completed her B.A in Archaeology at Bilkent University in Turkey, and her M.Sc. in Cultural Heritage Materials and Technologies at the University of Peloponnese in Greece. Her academic interests lie in the fields of Anatolian prehistory, craft production and organization, archaeometric techniques used in cultural material analysis, along with archaeological field excavation and recording techniques. 

Her doctoral research focuses on the pottery production and organization of the prehistoric Porsuk culture workshop settlement Kanlıtaş Höyük in northwest Anatolia. Her aims are to understand the chaîne opératoire of the decorated and undecorated pottery assemblage of the site, along with its social and spatial dimensions in the region. Thin section petrography and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) analysis will be employed as the archaeometric techniques in this research.
