We’re looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to conduct lipid residue analysis of pottery vessels, with the framework of a new project entitled From Refuse to Resource: ceramic and bone wastescapes in the early Neolithic of Europe (ReNEW). Funded by the AHRC-DFG, ReNEW is an exciting new collaboration between the University of York and the Freie Universität, Berlin, led by co-PIs Prof. Penny Bickle (York) and Prof. Henny Piezonka (Berlin), and focuses on the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in Europe. ReNEW considers the impact of the transition to Neolithic lifestyles on the production and management of waste. The PDRA will focus on determining the uses of pottery vessels and assist in novel cutting-edge research aimed at reconstructing their biographies from use to discard.
