The Cluster of Excellence (EXC) ROOTS explores the roots of social, environmental, and cultural phenomena and processes that substantially marked past human development, aiming at a better understanding of past socio-environmental dynamics and at shedding new light on the “roots” of current challenges and crises under diverse economic, ecological, and social conditions. Together we promote interdisciplinary research into human-environment dynamics from the Later Stone Age (around 12,000 BCE) to the end of the pre-modern era, gathering expertise in geoarchaeology and geobotany, social archaeology, physical anthropology, urban archaeology, history of knowledge, archaeobotany, archaeozoology, stable isotope research, settlement archaeology, ethnoarchaeology, data analysis, archaeoclimate and dendroarchaeology. We are highly committed to extend/widen archaeological and palaeo-environmental research perspectives beyond a European focus to Asia and Africa, in particular. We therefore seek and invite early career experts from these continents, in particular, to enrich our research agenda with their fresh view and pertinent experience. We are seeking highly-qualified and motivated postdoctoral fellows to conduct high-quality interdisciplinary research.
