Multidisciplinary approaches to the investigation of preservation processes at the Roman Site of Vindolanda, Northumberland, UK
(ST-SSE6)

Archaeological landscapes and environments are extremely complex and diverse systems. Vindolanda, situated in Northumberland, UK, is part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage site and has remarkable preservation of artefacts of international significance including leather, writing tablets and bones. Vindolanda is a waterlogged site and contains anoxic layers which often aid in the preservation of these important artefacts. This PhD position, in collaboration with the Vindolanda Trust, will aim to i) enhance our understanding of preservation processes and ii) explore chemical and microbial factors that impact on preservation. The successful application will be required to use a range of chemical and microbial techniques to analyse samples within the laboratory and field setting. Applicants should hold, or be about to receive, a strong BSc (Hons) degree within the Biosciences, Archaeological Science or an MSc within a related area, and have theoretical and practical knowledge of microbiology, molecular biology and/or chemistry laboratories.
