Phd Position in Arctic Landscape Archaeology
4 weken geleden
We are seeking self-motivated applicants for a four-year, fully-funded PhD position focusing on compiling, modeling and mapping archaeological data on subsistence harvesting among Inuit (from ca. AD 1250 to 1950) across the ecologically-rich land
- sea
- and icescapes of the Foxe Basin region of central Nunavut, Inuit Nunangat (the traditional Inuit territories of what is now Canada). There will be a significant focus on theorizing archaeological-data accessibility and visualization for both general and specific audiences; of particular interest is how such datasets can best be built, accessed and utilized by Inuit.
- conduct archival research in cooperation with local cultural organizations and governmental data repositories
- synthesize existing metadata on known archaeological sites in the Foxe Basin region, and model these data using GIS; and
- carry out limited, supervised archaeological fieldwork (primarily non-invasive survey) alongside local experts in the Foxe Basin region in order to fill gaps in our current knowledge of premodern/historic site nature and distribution.
Additional research avenues could address (1) intervisibility of archaeological sites vis-à-vis changing environmental/climatic conditions; (2) analysis of viewsheds and the phenomenology of land-, sea
