The new program is a long-term cross-disciplinary collaboration to investigate the Ancient Mediterranean and offers:

 

Three 5-year Full Fellowships in Biological Archaeology/Archaeometry and Archaeogenetics to sponsor graduate study leading to a PhD in Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The first fellowship(s) will be available to students admitted by Harvard for the academic year 2017-2018.
Students interested in being considered for the new fellowships should apply to present their work at a preliminary workshop held at Jena on 31st of October 2016.

 

Scientific orientation of eligible research projects

 

Due to the existence of best possible evidence and sources for individual mobility as well as group migration in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Max Planck Harvard project will focus on three historical topics, 
1) the early historical globalization of the Eastern Mediterranean in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age (ca. 1600-1000 BCE), 
2) the so-called “Phoenician” and “Greek” migrations in the early 1st millennium BCE throughout the Mediterranean and 
3) the link between human mobility and the spread of pandemics in Antiquity.
