“I am a multidisciplinary archaeologist with a background in archaeological science, database and collections management, and pedagogy.
My PhD project enshrined many of these interdisciplinary principles. I utilised cutting-edge archaeological science techniques, alongside varied theoretical models, to uncover relationships between people, food, and pottery in the Early and Middle Neolithic period of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. This also involved collaborating with researchers from multiple universities, heritage institutions, and museums.”
Daniel’s proposed research aims to develop new cutting-edge methodologies to test how computer-based analytical methods and QGIS modelling can be used in conjunction with multiple large databases to answer large-scale archaeological research questions.
These novel methods will be used to shed light on the origins and spread of subsistence agriculture across Northern Europe, beginning in the Neolithic period (approximately 4000 BCE). This will be done by aggregating data from various databases hosted by the Swedigarch national infrastructure.
