Naar schatting maar de helft van de opgegraven archeologische vondsten komt in depots terecht. Prof. Wim De Clercq (@archeougent.bsky.social) : “De pijnlijke conclusie is dan dat archeologie geen wetenschappelijk proces meer is, maar verworden is tot bodemsanering”
Nieuwe resultaten van een grootschalig pollenonderzoek uit waterputten, grachten en andere diep uitgegraven structuren werden gebundeld in het syntheserapport "SYNTAR 34: Looking down the well".
De resultaten worden komende vrijdag gepresenteerd op de "7de Studiedag Syntheseonderzoek Archeologie".
Yesterday dr. Quentin Drillat successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled: “Spatial Organization, Fragmentation and Developent of City-States in central Crete (Late Minoan II - Hellenistic period)” (promotor: prof. dr. Roald Docter). Congratulations dr. Drillat! 🎉

Ben Weyts (N-VA) drukt besparingen door bij de onroerenderfgoeddepots, waar archeologische vondsten worden opgeslagen. Die depots zijn cruciaal voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat ons wegwijs maakt in het verleden van Vlaanderen.

The Research Afternoon of the Department was again a big succes! Bringing together topics ranging from the paleoclimate in Bronze Age Belgium, Byzantine mosaics in Carthage, pottery from Cyprus and landscape evolution in Flanders. Food for thought and stimulating conversations!
The conference TEKTON. Material and Technical Perspectives on Architectural Design and Construction Processes in the Aegean Bronze Age, will take place in the Acropolis Museum in Athens on the 12-14 March 2026.
The programme, abstracts and link to registration can be found on: tekton.ugent.be
📢Call for papers! We would like to announce the opening of the Call for Contributions for Session #220 “Across Seas and Theories: Aegean Interconnections with Anatolia, Cyprus, the Levant, and Egypt in the Second Millennium BCE”, as part of the 32nd #EAA in Athens from August 26 to 29, 2026 📢
In collaboration with some of our colleagues, a new documentary just came out!
Really excited to share the preprint for @halbevi.bsky.social and I’s new paper! Lithic tools from the Mesolithic and Neolithic were analysed with palaeoproteomics, use-wear, radiocarbon and optical microscopy residue analyses to find evidence of bovine butchery!
Erfgoeddepots zijn essentieel voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek
📢 PhD position in Geoarchaeology (4y) – Ghent University within the ERC project FROST.
The PhD combines archaeological dating methods with geoarchaeological analyses of sediments to investigate Late Glacial human–environment interactions.
