The wealth of well-preserved submerged archaeological sites of Holocene hunter gatherer-fisher communities in the SW Baltic Sea is an outstanding characteristic of the region. Detailed geophysical surveys of such areas have the potential to reconstruct landscapes on a microregional scale and help to define preferred zones of Stone Age inhabitation and thus optimal zones for archaeological exploration.
The PhD position is within the framework of the European synergy grant project SUBNORDICA funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The project investigates drowned landscapes in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. It combines expertise from the Universities of Bradford (UK) and Aarhus (DK), the Museum Moesgaard (DK), the Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research (D) and the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (D) as well as further European partners.
The PhD position will investigate the drowned landscapes surrounding submarine archaeological sites in the SW Baltic Sea. The research objective is to reconstruct the topography of different paleolandscapes on the basis of geophysical data (seismic, multibeam echosounder, side scan sonar) and to interpret them with the help of archaeological and geological data.
