The selected candidate for this project is expected to conduct experimental and analytical work on lime-clay composite ceramic systems relevant for the production of Egyptian blue. A background in mineralogy and / or process technology in oxide systems will be beneficial. Most of the research ...
For this project, the successful candidate is expected to conduct fieldwork for the collection of soil and clay samples from the Cypriot geo-environment, followed by laboratory analysis, including experimental firings, microscopic and chemical analysis, aiming at an enhanced understanding of the ...
Mobility patterns and associated dietary changes in the Roman limes borderscape in the Netherlands, Belgium, northern France, and western Germany. You will determine the Sr-O-C-N isotope composition of inhumed and cremated human individuals to quantify the role of mobility in the limes ...
The Archaeology Department at the University of Aberdeen is offering a fully funded (fees plus stipend) PhD position in paleogenetics and archaeological science. The research project is interdisciplinary and will use a combination of ancient DNA, stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N, δ34S, 87Sr/86Sr ...
The Department of Archaeology, University of Cambridge, invites applications for two fully-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie PhD studentship/Early Stage Researcher (MSC-ESR) Fellowship positions starting in October 2021 as part of the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network ...
This PhD scholarship is part of an exciting cross-disciplinary project, involving scientists from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and Tajikistan, that will answer questions such as when humans arrived in Central Asia and what environmental and climatic conditions were at the time. The PhD ...
The conservation of historic ships is a constant challenge, and ships like the Royal Navy’s flagship HMS Victory present a unique combination of issues that are not otherwise found in museum environments. The Deathwatch beetle (DWB) population on HMS Victory is so well-established that it is ...
In this interdisciplinary project, the successful candidates will investigate the physico-chemical mechanisms by which minerals capture and preserve aDNA. They will develop methods by which aDNA can be retrieved from such mineral assemblages, and they will use these methods to analyse aDNA from ...
