University funded PhD Studentship  -  October 2008

Department of Archaeology

A University PhD studentship is offered for the following research topic. 
This funding is open to applications from UK and EU students. Tuition fees 
and a stipend will be paid for three years. The closing date for 
applications is 28 April 2008.

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses of archaeological and 
experimentally grown cereals from Jordan: Potential uses for the 
reconstruction of past climate and water management. (Dr G H Müldner and Dr 
E Jenkins) Email: [log in to unmask] Tel. 0118 378 7389.

Project Outline

Using a unique set of samples made available through cereal growing 
experiments conducted in Jordan as part of Reading University's "Water, 
Life and Civilization" project as well as ancient cereals from the Middle 
Eastern region, this PhD will provide a re-evaluation of the use of stable 
isotope analysis of cereals from archaeological contexts for the 
reconstruction of climate and water management practices in the past. 
Ultimately, the project will produce a set of reference data of great 
relevance to environmental reconstruction and palaeodietary studies in the 
Middle Eastern/North African region.

Training

In addition to the generic research skills associated with PhD-level study, 
the student will receive training and gain expertise in: sampling 
strategies, experimental design and hypothesis testing, preparation of 
modern and archaeological plant samples for carbon and nitrogen stable 
isotope analysis, continuous-flow light isotope ratio mass-spectrometry, 
statistical analysis and interpretation of isotopic data-sets in relation 
to environmental and dietary reconstruction and with specific reference to 
the archaeology of the Near East, as well as taphonomy and diagenesis of 
plant remains from archaeological sites.


Applications are invited for this project from students with an upper 
second class honours degree or above in archaeology, archaeological or 
environmental science, or a related discipline. For further details, or for 
an informal discussion, please contact the project supervisor named above.

The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) awarded Reading Archaeology 5*, 
the highest possible mark, and our teaching provision has been graded 
excellent by the Quality Assurance Agency.
