University of Amsterdam The Faculty of Humanities / The Amsterdam Archaeological Centre
(Noord-Holland), 38 hours per week
University of Amsterdam
Job description
The research in Halos will consist of two phases, just like the other sub-projects: firstly, an inventory will be made of the finds and supplementary data, and secondly a thorough analysis of the data will take place. The inventory will consist of designing a database, collecting the data, and connecting all that to a GIS environment. Filling in the database will be done within the first year of the project, by a research assistant, in cooperation with some MA students.
In the second year the research assistant will be able to proceed more independently. The PhD researcher will have to dedicate himself to a more detailed typological and stylistical analysis of the material, thereby refining the existing classification, and fine-tuning dating and provenancing. In order to support the investigations into use, provenance, and production, targeted clay analysis will be applied to a selection of the material
The final year of the PhD research will be dedicated to the above mentioned research questions. In order to compare the results with the other sub-projects the PhD researcher will be supervised by one of the post-docs. This could lead to one or more joint publications, in addition to the PhD thesis.
In order to check and supplement the results some new fieldwork will probably be necessary (in the second or third year of the project, depending on the remaining problems). Due to the demands of the Greek government the fieldwork will be directed by one of the post-docs, together with the PhD researchers, under the responsibility of Professor Vladimir Stissi. Furthermore, during the whole course of the project a part of the supervision, the find processing and the research will be done by a member of the Greek Archaeological Service, who will be paid through the project.
