We recently welcomed three new team members:
Coralie André is a marine biologist who just obtained her PhD in Geology. She studied the palaeoecology of the former Zwin region using pollen and diatoms, with a focus on the Roman and medieval periods. Now she started working at ArBoReaL, processing and analysing pollen and diatom samples from diverse archaeological projects.
Elliot Van Maldegem is an archaeologist who just defended his PhD on population dynamics between the Mesolithic period and the High Medieval period and is now starting a junior FWO postdoc at ArBoReaL. Through quantification of (micro)charcoal, he will explore whether humans during the Mesolithic period used fire to manage their surroundings.
Aze Peeters is a Biologist and Cultural Anthropologist and joined ArBoReaL as a PhD researcher. She will investigate human-woodland interaction by analyzing charcoal from archaeological remains of charcoal kilns. The aim is to reconstruct vegetation changes and explore how humans have historically shaped their woodland environments.
