******APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING****** Project Doctoral Student: Dama International, The Fallow Deer Project Fallow Deer in the Material and Visual Culture of European Society 6000BC-AD1600 The doctoral research will explore the cultural significance of European fallow deer (D. d. dama), their impact on ideological landscapes and their role in cosmologies throughout Europe from the Neolithic to the Post-Medieval period. Issues to be addressed will include how status, gender and religious and cultural beliefs are reflected in fallow deer images and material culture. This will involve extensive research of iconographic representations of fallow deer, their display in material culture and the artefacts deriving from their remains. The doctoral thesis will not involve a zooarchaeological examination of fallow deer remains from archaeological deposits, as this research is being carried out by other members of the project team. Therefore an archaeological background is not a prerequisite. The successful candidate will be expected to work alongside the Dama International team and engage fully in all aspects of the project, including liaising with members of the steering committee, presenting research at conferences and contributing to the creation of the project's visual outputs (including documentary film and museum exhibitions).
