The research line will be focused on establishing a chronological framework of environmental change during the Middle and Late Pleistocene in the central interior of South Africa, using luminescence dating. As a trainee researcher, the person will be expected to participate actively in the activities of PEOPLE, including: research stays in South Africa (up to two months per year) and other collaborating centers, laboratory analyses, synthesis and interpretation of results, drafting scientific papers, dissemination of scientific activity. The PhD student will be trained in micro-geoarchaeological methods for the characterization of dating material at the CENIEH, and in optically stimulated luminescence dating in other foreign collaborating centers, and will study the chronology of the river catchments investigated in the PEOPLE project under the supervision of the PI.
