The Ecologies of Governance project interrogates the emergence of inequality and the economic basis of rulership in early medieval, kin-based societies by undertaking multi-proxy and comparative analyses of the environment and agrarian regimes of some of the major and iconic royal landscapes of first millennium AD Britain and Ireland. This Research Fellow will be a highly productive, ambitious and collaborative member of the Ecologies of Governance team, to be based in Archaeology and Palaeoecology at Queen’s University Belfast and collaborating with teams based at Newcastle University and Cardiff University. They will carry out field work and analysis for case study royal landscapes that form the focus of the project, with primary responsibility for performing multi-proxy palaeoecological analysis, including palynology, diatoms, XRF and isotopic analysis, to detail wider ecological contexts and effects of regimes of exploitation.
