Obiettivo We aim to understand the relationship between dynamic changes in physical landscapes and patterns of human dispersal and development in prehistory, paying particular attention to the impact of active tectonics and sea-level change. We will:• Introduce and develop concepts and techniques of tectonic geomorphology and mapping to analyse the relationship between geological instability, complex topographies, and archaeological remains at a variety of geographical scales• Focus on the western Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea coast, a key, but little known, intermediary region between Africa and Eurasia, and draw on a wider comparative sample of key site-regions throughout the main axes of early dispersal in Africa, SW Asia and S Europe.• Develop strategies to explore the submerged landscapes and archaeology of the continental shelf, now recognised as a major gap in our understanding of the human story• Analyse the shell mounds of recent millennia to develop a detailed benchmark for what constitutes the archaeological signature of a coastal economy, and a guide to the interpretation of more vestigial data from earlier periods and the search for material on submerged coastlines when sea levels were lower• Synthesise the results with existing palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental data• Tackle the fundamental but hitherto unresolved technical challenge of how to distinguish in distributions of archaeological sites between genuine patterns of human habitat preference and geological effects of differential visibility• Produce a case study that demonstrates how long-term human engagement with the material world of a changing physical landscape and the cumulative palimpsests of archaeological deposits can give rise to new adaptations and new strategies of social action Campo scientifico humanitieshistory and archaeologyhistoryprehistorynatural sciencesphysical sciencesastronomyplanetary sciencesplanetary geologyhumanitieshistory and archaeologyarchaeologyethnoarchaeologynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesgeologygeomorphology Programma(i) FP7-IDEAS-ERC - Specific programme: "Ideas" implementing the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007 to 2013) Argomento(i) ERC-AG-SH6 - ERC Advanced Grant - The study of the human past Invito a presentare proposte ERC-2010-AdG_20100407 Vedi altri progetti per questo bando Meccanismo di finanziamento ERC-AG - ERC Advanced Grant Istituzione ospitante UNIVERSITY OF YORK Contributo UE € 2 208 934,00 Indirizzo HESLINGTON YO10 5DD York North Yorkshire Regno Unito Mostra sulla mappa Regione Yorkshire and the Humber North Yorkshire York Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Ricercatore principale Geoffrey Nigel Bailey (Prof.) Contatto amministrativo Belen Rebollo-Garcia (Mrs.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato Beneficiari (2) Classifica in ordine alfabetico Classifica per Contributo UE Espandi tutto Riduci tutto UNIVERSITY OF YORK Regno Unito Contributo UE € 2 208 934,00 Indirizzo HESLINGTON YO10 5DD York North Yorkshire Mostra sulla mappa Regione Yorkshire and the Humber North Yorkshire York Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Ricercatore principale Geoffrey Nigel Bailey (Prof.) Contatto amministrativo Belen Rebollo-Garcia (Mrs.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato INSTITUT DE PHYSIQUE DU GLOBE DE PARIS Francia Contributo UE € 341 066,00 Indirizzo RUE JUSSIEU 1 75238 Paris Mostra sulla mappa Regione Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Paris Tipo di attività Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contatto amministrativo Rosa Bernal-Carrera (Ms.) Collegamenti Contatta l’organizzazione Opens in new window Sito web Opens in new window Costo totale Nessun dato
