Job news!! We're looking for an archaeological chemist to join us on the ReNEW project: on waste management during the transition to the Neolithic. This role will be to carry out organic residue analysis.
The PDRA position is for 2 years: jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/post...
Please share!
Currently advertising: PhD project on Neolithic waste, based with Henny Piezonka. Project focuses on spatial analysis and the Neolithic. Deadline is 9th Feb. A chance to work with a cool range of sites from Serbia to Poland and you get to live in Berlin, so what's not to like! Link in next post.
I am not sure what amazes me more on this offer. The price? The existence of such service itself? Or the fact that academia turned into overcompetitive rat race? 🤔
It’s been three years since I stepped into the editorial duties of the @archrozhledy.bsky.social. To mark the anniversary, I’ve written down a few thoughts on the current culture of critique and on possible ways out of it.
But why are threre so few close family relationships (compared to Late Neolithic and Bronze Age cemeteries)? Its rather suspicious. Community - yes but this community was likely much broader entity than a single settlement or cluster of neigbouring villages.
CHRU does not work, they should go for SAS (Special Archaeological Service) 😉
I have put on paper some thoughts on why Central Europe's Neolithic was more diverse than broad narratives often suggest. Drawing on several case studies, I explore regions that developed along their own paths and deserve more attention from future research.
