SFB 806 E1: Population Dynamics: Demographic Changes of Hunter-Gatherer Populations during the Upper Pleistocene and Early Holocene in Europe (Project)

The project investigates the demography of Upper Pleistocene and early Holocene hunter-gatherer populations. A bottom-up approach is developed to upscale up data obtained from key sites and regions to macro-scale areas defined by cultural context, the results being controlled by ecological and ethnographic parameters. Spatial as well as diachronic comparisons are used to identify sources,...

SFB 806 E3: Anthropological Models: A Reconstruction of the First African Frontier (Project)

This project explores anthropological models of hunter-gatherer social dynamics and seeks to relate these models to the theoretical idea of a frontier, which means explaining forms of social organisation as the outcome of a condition of gradual expansion, and conversely this expansion as the result of specific social dynamics. Existing anthropological models for the reconstruction of...

SFB 806 F1: Application of Cosmogenic Nuclide Dating (14C and 10Be) in the Construction of High-Resolution Archaeological Chronologies (Project)

Exact chronological data are essential to evaluate the timing, duration and rhythms of population dynamics and human migrations. They also form the basis to decipher dependencies of human development on climatic and environmental changes, by the identification of coincidences, leads or lacks to these potential natural forcing factors. Project F1 has two main components, each with focus on...

SFB 806 F2: Application of Luminescence and Electron-Spin-Resonance-Dating in Geoarchaeological Studies (Project)

The reconstruction of human-environment interaction throughout the last 190,000 years requires a chronological framework both for archaeological as well as for geological archives. Correlation of the manifold information from different archives and sites requires precise and accurate chronometric ages. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), thermoluminescence (TL), radiofluorescence (RF) and...

SFB 806 F3: Black Carbon in Soils as an Indicator for Human-Environment Interactions in the Last 190,000 years (Project)

The F3 project focuses on the relation of human population dynamics with fire. Changes in climate, vegetation and land use frequently went along with regional burning events. On the other hand, from a point of time, yet unknown and certainly long before the beginning of the Neolithic age, fire became an important means of human impact on landscapes. Left behind was black carbon (BC) from...

SFB 806 F4: Climate Change in the Northern and Western Black Sea Region Based on U-Th isochron Dated Stalagmites from the Crimean Peninsula and Eastern Romania (Project)

I propose to use stalagmites from karst caves in Ukraine (Crimean Peninsula) and Eastern Romania (Dobrogea Mountains) for precise and accurately dated palaeoclimatic reconstruction in the Black Sea region since MIS 3. The main objective is to obtain a reliable chronology of climate change on the basis of detailed U-Th dating, using an isochron approach to accurately correct for detrital 230Th...

SFB 806 Z3: Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) (Project)

The proposed Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) will bring the graduate students of the CRC together in an interdisciplinary forum of discussion, education and research. Along with sensu stricto CRC members, usually in junior researcher (half-time) positions within the CRC, additional places will be made available in IRTG by internships funded through the budget of the proposed Z3 project.

SFB 806 Z1: Central Administration and Coordination (Project)

The proposed CRC will have an organisation that allows effective and transparent management for both scientific programmes and administrative/financial problems. The administrative core of Z will be a coordinator with a multilingual secretary and a pool of non-academic staff (e.g. web-master and student’s assistants). This administrative unit will work closely with the speaker and his/her deputy,...

SFB 806 Z2: Data Management and Data Services (Project)

Data storage and exchange in interdisciplinary research projects, that focus on spatially distributed field data collection in an organised framework are key issues. The overall and sustainable success of such projects depends on the well organised data management and data exchange of/for all projects. Therefore, the aim of this project is to solve the main problems of data storage and exchange...
