ENCOUNTER

ENCOUNTER investigates the Jomon-Yayoi transition, a demic and cultural diffusion event that led the predominantly hunting, gathering, and fishing-based communities of the Japanese islands to adopt rice and millet farming during the 1st millennium BC.

The Socio-Technics of Painted Pottery: From Microscopic Evidence to Macroscopic Histories

This project presents a comparative study of two major Neolithic painted pottery traditions situated at opposite ends of Eurasia: the Cucuteni-Trypillia culture in southeastern Europe and the Yangshao-Majiayao cultural sequence in northwest China. While their remarkably similar decorative repertoires have long been noted, this research moves beyond typological comparison to interrogate the technological practices and organisational structures underlying their production systems.
