Applications are invited for an AHRC-funded PhD studentship offered as a collaborative doctoral award between the British Museum and the UCL Institute of Archaeology (Ref:1539148). 

 

The successful candidate will undertake doctoral research into the manufacture of ceramic funerary vessels of the Early Bronze Age (EBA) in Britain (c.2400-1500 BC). Funerary vessels represent one of the most common and most important sources of information about social and ritual practices and identities during this period. They will study the vessels in far greater depth than hitherto attempted by supplementing the traditional macroscopic skills of the finds specialist and curator, with the methods of archaeological science and experimental archaeology.

 

The studentship provides a unique opportunity to work directly with the rich archaeological material in the collections of the British Museum. The student will be supervised by Mike Parker Pearson, Professor of British Later Prehistory, UCL Institute of Archaeology, in collaboration with Neil Wilkin, Curator of the European Bronze Age Collections, at the British Museum.
