The focus on this doctoral project is to combine zooarchaeological research with isotope analyses on animal remains from post-medieval Madeira (under the supervision of Dr. Ben Gruwier and Prof. Christophe Snoeck). The aim is to understand how and to what extent, Portuguese settlers were able to ...
The migration of Polynesians to the central and eastern Pacific around 1500 BCE to 1000 CE is supported by a combination of linguistic, archaeological, anthropological, and genetic evidence. Recent studies suggest that this movement may be related to environmental stressors, like drought, which ...
Palaeogenomics has revolutionised our understanding of human population history by analysing thousands of human genomes from skeletal remains. Unfortunately, this requires destructive sampling of such remains and can conflict with descendant communities' values and heritage conservation policies ...
Research on human DNA recovered from sediments is a rapidly developing field. This area has implications for both forensic and ancient DNA research, where recovered DNA could be used for human identifications or to understand past environments and people. However, there is still a lack of ...
We invite online applications for the International Max Planck Research School “The Leipzig School of Human Origins” (IMPRS LSHO), an international Ph.D. program of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology and the University of Leipzig. We provide interdisciplinary training ...
The successful candidate will characterize cobalt ores from a geological perspective, compiling a geochemical (incl. elemental and lead isotopic) database of relevant Co ores and pigment sources for the post Medieval European realm. This will provide the necessary distinguishing power between ...
Ce travail de thèse utilisera des développements inexplorés en chimie analytique pour décrypter la chimie des protéines anciennes in situ (les réseaux, assemblages et interactions moléculaires). Pour atteindre ses objectifs, le/la doctorant/e concevra, évaluera et déploiera les méthodologies les ...
To some extent the history of Chinese art has been the history of reproduction. Chinese artists in all fields have paid homage to their past masters by creating imitations or replicas of their works. In the porcelain industry in recent decades, this activity has become particularly fervent and ...
