This Research Associate will play a key role in the Horizon Europe UKRI guarantee element of the ERC Synergy project “MEDGREENREV. Rethinking The Green Revolution In The Western Mediterranean” led by Prof. Michelle Alexander at the University of York. MEDGREENREV brings together a range of experts in archaeology, history, climate, and biomolecular and palaeoenvironmental techniques across eight universities in Europe to explore the long-term relationships between cultural and ecological changes in the Iberian Peninsula, the Balearic Islands, and North Africa during the medieval millennium (6th-16th centuries CE), a region and time period characterised by shifting political power and significant population movements. Here you can find further information on the MEDGREENREV project and the current team members. The Research Associate will analyse multiple isotopes in bones and teeth from human and animal populations from rural, urban, and fortified sites to explore diet, subsistence, animal husbandry and mobility during phases of Islamic and Christian political control. They will also carry out compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of carbon and nitrogen in bone collagen for detailed dietary reconstruction. The role holder will work together in a team with two other PDRAs based in York and a much larger network of over 30 researchers over the project.
