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!
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!
📢 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.
