Les objectifs de la thèse seront de caractériser l'Anomalie Climatique Médiévale en déterminant les caractéristiques de cette période (notamment la fréquence des épisodes de sécheresse, etc.). Le travail de thèse se décomposera en 3 tâches : 1) compléter un référentiel dendro-isotopique actuel ...
You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis dedicated to the technical study of the Ghent Altarpiece. In particular, your work will focus on the chemical behaviour and degradation of the metal foils inside a complex paint system. The research will include paint material ...
We seek a highly-motivated individual with a strong background in biomolecular archaeology or human evolution research, possibly in combination with experience in osteoarchaeology and zooarchaeology. You will join a new research group at the GLOBE Institute in the context of the ERC Starting ...
Central Asia is a key route for ancient human expansion out of Africa, with early human migrants leaving behind stone tools in thick wind-blown dust (loess) deposits in Tajikistan, deposited over the last 2-3 million years. However, much remains unknown about the timing and environmental context ...
This PhD project will investigate the isotope signals from both modern and past examples of domestication and taming. Key questions will likely be: Can we detect past domestications or taming using a combination of isotopic approaches? What evidence is there from the past for domestication or ...
The Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University (UU) invites applications for a 4-year PhD project on the interface of Neolithic archaeology and buried alluvial landscapes in the Netherlands from the period 6000-4000 BCE. Can earth scientific and geoarchaeological methods demonstrate ...
Ce projet vise à développer un appareillage de spectrométrie de fluorescence X (FX) in situ en mode confocal combinée à de l'imagerie en FX-2D. Le but est l'analyse et l'imagerie élémentaires résolues en profondeur sur des figures préhistoriques de grottes ornées ainsi que sur des peintures ...
The position is associated to the project ClimateCultures: Socio-natural entanglements in Little Ice Age in Norway (1500-1800), financed by the Norwegian Research Council. It asks: what happened the last time Nordic societies encountered rapid climate change? How did climate and culture interact ...
