The focus of this project is to investigate the use of plants in recent and ancient non-agricultural communities and explore how plant biochemical spectra and functional traits might have affected the capacity of early human groups to obtain nutritious food and plant-based medications across ...
Dental calculus is a biofilm that adheres to teeth during life. Material passing through the mouth as food, medicines, airborne environmental materials and when the mouth is used as a third hand, can become embedded. This PhD will focus on the structure of dental calculus and extraction and ...
Global climate models driven with reconstructions of solar variations, volcanic aerosols and land use change can simulate climate variations over past centuries, but only on spatial scales far coarser than the scales on which communities will have experienced climate change impacts. This project ...

We are looking for a PhD candidate to be part of the Research team of the ERC Consolidator DEMODRIVERS. The selected candidate will carry out research on pre-Columbian Amazonia. DEMODRIVERS will investigate archaeological sites known as forest islands (FIs). The research goals include: 1) To ...
This project investigates the size, timing and impact of African Humid Period (AHP) floods on upland landscapes along the Sahara Desert margins. Wobbling of the Earth’s axial spin alters atmospheric circulation patterns every ~20,000 yrs, repeatedly bringing wetter climates and flooding (~5,000 ...
The research group Antwerp Cultural Heritage Sciences (ARCHES) of the Faculty of Design Sciences of the University of Antwerp and the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (Ghent CDH) of Ghent University are looking for a full-time doctoral scholarship holder in the field of Digital Heritage. You ...
The research work will be developed under the scientific supervision of João Pedro Vicente Tereso and will include the following tasks: Processing of sediment samples from archaeological excavations through bucket and machine assisted flotation in order to collect plant macroremains; Sorting and ...
