Enhancing Fenland Farming: Applying Insights from Archaeology

The project will research how archaeological and palaeoecological narratives of past land management and climate change adaptation can shape sustainable farming, regenerative agriculture, and rewilding strategies in the Cambridgeshire Fenlands. The nationally important agricultural area is extremely vulnerable to climate change, and the mentioned strategies are considered key mitigation options.

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.
