SFB 806 B1: The 'Eastern Trajectory': Last Glacial Palaeogeography and Archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean and of the Balkan Peninsula
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
Project B1 investigates a possible 'Eastern Trajectory' of modern human migrations into Europe. This route bridges the region with the earliest fossils of Homo sapiens sapiens so far known in the Near East over Anatolia, the Balkans and the Northwestern Pontic Sea. The main focus lies on the elucidation of both the archaeology and the environmental/ecological conditions of last glacial population dynamics, particularly migrations, by means of archaeological surveys and excavations, accompanied by small to medium scale geoscientific reconstructions of landscapes. In the first phase of the CRC, investigations concentrate on Southern Jordan, Romania, and Southern Ukraine.
