The HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Doctoral Network “Archaeological Coastal Heritage: Past, present and future of a hidden prehistoric legacy” (ArCHe) trains 10 doctoral candidates in studying Stone Age hunter-fisher-gatherer remains in coastal areas across Europe in an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral perspective.
DC2: A third of the land area occupied by Paleolithic human groups in Europe was drowned by the sea level rise after the Last Glacial period and the coastal settlements of Paleolithic hunter-gatherer groups are today placed below current sea level. The first goal of PhD2 is to explore the feasibility of identifying and analysing archaeological remains from these periods left on the Continental Shelf floor of Atlantic Europe, a matter still unexplored. Multidisciplinary research focusing on new technological approaches such as Topas sub-bottom profiling, multibean echosounder or XRF core scanning makes this possible and might trigger a real revolution in the knowledge of Prehistory. Brittany, Aquitaine, northern Spain and Estremadura and Alentejo in Portugal are targets to address this issue from a comparative approach.
