Newcastle University announces a call for a PhD scholarship on a project titled Technological choice and variability in prehistoric metalworking: a transdisciplinary investigation, funded by the AHRC Northern Bridge Doctoral Training Partnership as a Collaborative Doctoral Award. The ...
During the late Pleistocene and Early Holocene, Northern Europe was populated by mobile hunter gatherers. Due to their non-sedentary lifestyle, traces of these societies are difficult to find, which hampers our understanding of how they lived and developed. Some parts of the SW Baltic Sea ...
The wealth of well-preserved submerged archaeological sites of Holocene hunter-gatherer-fisher communities in the SW Baltic Sea is an outstanding characteristic of the region. Detailed geophysical surveys of such areas have the potential to reconstruct landscapes on a microregional scale and help ...
Two Ph.D. candidates positions are part of the German Research Foundation (DFG) funded project "From Ornaments to Ecosystems: Exploring Hominin-Mammoth Interactions in the Late Pleistocene of the Swabian Jura (Southern Germany)". The goal of this project is to analyse changes in hominin-mammoth ...
The analysis of proteins preserved in archaeological contexts is a rapidly developing area of archaeological science, and has been valuable for revealing insights into animal-human relationships in the past. One such development is the identification of a sex-discriminating protein amelogenin ...
This project seeks to improve understanding of past human-environment relationships in Amazonia, over centennial-millennial timescales. Amazonia’s long-term history is of interest to ecologists, archaeologists and climate scientists alike. Once thought to be a virgin wilderness, home to sparse ...
Forest health is a growing, international concern, with most attention focused on climatic drivers and regions with large tracts of forest cover. By contrast, relatively little is known about how climate change influences forest resilience in landscapes where woodland cover is limited and its ...
The successful candidate will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to explore the genomic diversity of Pleistocene fauna and humans, focusing particularly on the interactions between humans and extinct megafauna, emphasising carnivorous species. This work involves the analysis of hundreds of ...
