ERC Project PollutedPast, led by Dr. Olalla López-Costas, aims to produce detailed data about human exposure to metal pollution during Roman and Medieval times in Iberia and Scandinavia, and compare with natural archives and contextual information. The team includes researchers of a wide variety of expertise as bioarchaeology, osteoarchaeology, paleography, paleoenvironment, isotope analyses. The project is based at Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain, and secondarily at Dpt Archaeology and Classical Studies, Stockholm University, Sweden. Main task: to develop conjoint research on paleodiet, paleomobility and paleopollution by analysing Roman and Medieval Iberian sites. Other tasks: to reconstruct diet during Roman and Medieval times in pilot areas, to reconstruct mobility using multi-isotopic approaches in pilot areas, to address mercury pollution in relation to diet and mobility with the help of PollutedPast team, to address intra- and inter-skeletal variation, to develop minor lab-tasks. She/he will develop links and collaboration with the other members of PollutedPast as well as leading her/him own publications.
