Congratulations to Sarah who received a British Academy post-doctoral fellowship for her work "Investigating Neolithic villages and farming communities in Jordan: developing and validating new scientific multi-methodologies"! This research will develop new scientific inter-disciplinary methods and tools to investigate human and animal occupation signatures recorded in cultural deposits that accumulated in Pre-Pottery Neolithic settlements in Jordan. The project will involve the analysis of sediment samples from known activity areas in modern villages and dung samples from targeted animal species, which will then act as a comparative dataset to interpret samples from Neolithic sites.
